Why Modular Solutions for Robotic Cell Guarding?

From a single cobot workstation guard to a full automotive weld line perimeter, Modular Solutions engineers every system to the specific robot, reach envelope, and facility requirements, no catalog-fit compromises.

ANSI/RIA R15.06 Engineering

Every guard is dimensioned to the robot's maximum reach envelope per ANSI/RIA R15.06, barrier heights, opening sizes, and safety distances are calculated, not estimated.

Safety Gate Interlocking

Access gates are configured with tongue-and-groove or coded RFID safety interlock switches wired to the robot controller's safety circuit, robot stops on any door open event.

6000-Series Aluminum Construction

All guards are built with 6000-series anodized aluminum T-slot extrusion, lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and fully reconfigurable without welding when layouts change.

Conveyor Pass-Through Design

In-feed and out-feed openings engineered to ISO 13857 safety distances, correctly sized so no risk of reach-over or under-reach through material transfer openings.

Full Engineering Documentation

CAD drawings, bill of materials, and safety interlock wiring diagrams provided with every order, ready for your internal safety review and OSHA compliance records.

Auburn Hills, MI Build Facility

Designed and assembled in-house at our Auburn Hills, MI facility, direct engineering access, fast revisions, and no offshore lead-time surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about robotic cell guarding design, OSHA compliance, and lead times.

What OSHA standard applies to robotic cell guarding?

OSHA 29 CFR 1910.212 (Machine Guarding) and ANSI/RIA R15.06 (Safety Requirements for Industrial Robots) are the primary standards. All Modular Solutions guard systems are designed to these requirements, including minimum barrier heights, opening sizes, and safety interlock provisions.

How long does a custom robotic cell guard take to build?

Standard robot cell guards typically ship in 3–6 weeks from approved drawings. Complex multi-robot cells, integrated conveyor pass-throughs, or specialty configurations may require 6–10 weeks. Modular Solutions provides lead-time estimates at the quote stage.

Can robotic cell guarding be reconfigured when the layout changes?

Yes. All guards use 6000-series aluminum T-slot extrusion that bolts together without welding, individual panels, posts, and gates are removed, relocated, and reused when your cell layout changes, with no replacement purchase required.

What panel options are available?

Wire mesh (ventilation and cost efficiency), impact-rated polycarbonate (full visibility), solid aluminum (opacity), and combinations of all three within a single guard system. Panel selection is matched to the robot type, hazard level, and operator requirements.

Do you design guarding for both industrial robots and cobots?

Yes. Modular Solutions designs full perimeter guarding for industrial robots (6-axis, SCARA, delta, gantry) and cobot workstation guards for collaborative robot deployments where a risk assessment calls for physical guarding, designed to ISO/TS 15066 safety distance requirements.
