Modular Physical Barrier Modular Physical Barrier Modular Physical Barrier
Modular Physical Barriers

from manufactured by Wire Crafters, Inc.
A Modular Physical Barrier from WireCrafters is an effective way to protect employees from the dangers of automated equipment.
  • Reliable
    The Physical Barrier is unaffected by power outages or electrical problems. Once erected the barrier restricts access to the work cell and prevents employees from casually wandering into an area where they may be injured by automated equipment.

    The Physical Barrier also provides a visual barrier, alerting workers to the existence of potentially hazardous equipment.

    The barrier doubles as a potential safety net by helping contain objects thrown or ejected by malfunctioning equipment.
This savy business women  knows how to protect her facility from the dangers of robotic equipment. Not only does this barrier keep people out, it keeps the robots in. Because everyone knows that a robot left on the loose will reek havoc in the plant, especially since they are known to get into the break room and clean out the refridgerator.
  • Versatile
    A variety of standard size panels may be used to build your exact enclosure. The modular panels mount to posts set on maximum 10'2" centers. the panels can be mounted in many configurations and with an adjustable mounting kit, odd angle configurations are possible.

    The standard barrier used a five-foot -high panel mounted one foot above floor level on a six-foot-high post. This makes a barrier tall enough to keep employees out, while leaving a generous sweep space for the clean-up crew.

    Taller barriers may be built by stacking panels and changing post height. Please call 1.877.646.7321 for more information on on taller posts and mounting kits.

  • Economical
    Wire Crafters' Physical Barriers install quickly with standard hand tools. All hardware is easily accessible to the installer from inside the work cell. The posts mount to your plant floor with 1/2" wedge anchors. Future layout changes may be accomplished with little or no waste because the systems modular panels may be relocated and used again as your system grows or changes.
