Select a guarding system type below to explore configurations, specifications, and capabilities for your specific robot type and application.
Standard perimeter guarding for 6-axis, SCARA, and delta robot cells, reach-envelope dimensioned, interlocked safety gates, polycarbonate and mesh panel options.
Large-footprint enclosures for floor-mounted and gantry palletizers, pallet in/out openings with light curtains, conveyor integration, ceiling-height configurations.
Physical guarding for collaborative robot deployments, ISO/TS 15066 safety distance compliance, open operator interface access, minimal-footprint configurations.
Spark and UV-rated weld cell perimeter guards, welding-grade mesh panels, weld flash curtain integration, heavy-duty framing for arc and resistance welding cells.
Restricted-access enclosures for high-value processes, trapped-key interlocks, dual-channel safety circuits, anti-tamper hardware, monitored access control.
Multi-robot cell perimeter systems, irregular floor plans, and complex automation lines requiring non-standard configurations engineered from first principles.
Safety fencing for automotive BIW stamping, assembly, and robotic weld lines, designed for high-throughput automotive production floors with large part transfer openings.
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.
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.
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.
All guards are built with 6000-series anodized aluminum T-slot extrusion, lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and fully reconfigurable without welding when layouts change.
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.
CAD drawings, bill of materials, and safety interlock wiring diagrams provided with every order, ready for your internal safety review and OSHA compliance records.
Designed and assembled in-house at our Auburn Hills, MI facility, direct engineering access, fast revisions, and no offshore lead-time surprises.
Common questions about robotic cell guarding design, OSHA compliance, and lead times.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Beyond standard robotic guarding, explore our specialized transparent and impact-rated polycarbonate solutions designed for specific industrial applications and compliance standards:
ANSI/RIA R15.06 transparent barriers for industrial robots with IK08+ impact rating and retrofit installation.

NSF/ANSI 51 + FDA compliant barriers for GMP manufacturing with CIP washdown and sterilization compatibility.
ISO 4396 coolant-resistant polycarbonate protecting spindles from chip ejection and cutting fluid degradation.
ANSI Z136 laser-rated optical density barriers for CO2 and fiber cutters with Class 3–4 laser protection.
+250°F heat-resistant polycarbonate for OSHA 1910.212 press guarding at hot mold surfaces.
ISO/TS 15066 force-limiting barriers for human-robot interaction workspaces with E-stop integration.
+300°F steam-rated windows for FDA medical device sterilization with 10,000+ cycle durability.
