Protective devices for machines, systems, and occupational safety
Montech develops and manufactures individual protective devices based on its own aluminum framing systems to enhance occupational safety. These include protective hoods (SH), protective walls (SW), and customer-specific cabins precisely matched to the machine, process, and environment.
Thanks to the modular framing kit, all variants can be configured flexibly, expanded, and adapted to changing production conditions.
The protective devices can also be seamlessly integrated into systems with transfer systems, belt conveyors, or roller conveyors – for integrated, safe, and visually uniform overall solutions in state-of-the-art production.
This produces safe, maintenance-friendly, and aesthetically integrated protection systems for industrial applications.
Advantages of modular protective devices
Safety Hood SH
The SH protective cover is used to enclose hazardous areas on machines and systems. It has four sides and can optionally be fitted with a cover. Extremely mobile protective elements provide quick access for service and maintenance. Depending on the version, safety switches and fall arresters can be added.
Safety Wall SW
The SW protective wall protects individual access points or one side of a machine. The protective elements can be pushed upwards if access to the system is required. The design is based on the Quick-Set aluminum framing system and is suitable for applications where protection and accessibility must be combined.
Custom Solutions
You can design and customize your protective enclosures to meet safety requirements using Montech's aluminum framing systems, including construction, corner, hollow, and adapter profiles, along with a wide range of accessories.
FAQs
What is machine guarding?
Machine guarding refers to modular safety solutions designed to prevent access to hazardous machine areas and increase workplace safety. At Montech, machine guarding systems are engineered using aluminum framing systems and are planned on a project-specific basis to reliably enclose danger zones.
What is the purpose of machine guarding systems?
Machine guarding systems protect employees from hazardous areas around machines and production equipment while also improving operational and maintenance safety. Montech designs these solutions to provide effective protection without compromising accessibility or workflow.
What types of machine guarding systems are available?
Montech offers the following machine guarding solutions:
- Safety Hood SH
- Safety Wall SW
- Custom machine guarding solutions
Safety Hood SH and Safety Wall SW are built using the Quick-Set aluminum profile system, while fully customized guarding solutions are implemented using the Montech MPS aluminum framing system.
What distinguishes the Safety Hood SH?
The Safety Hood SH provides comprehensive protection by enclosing hazardous areas on multiple sides. It can be vertically lifted for maintenance access and optionally equipped with safety interlock switches or anti-fall locks for larger enclosures. The Quick-Set framing system ensures stability and flexibility.
How does the Safety Wall SW work?
The Safety Wall SW offers targeted protection for individual access points or machine sides. It features vertically movable elements that allow quick access when required. Thanks to the modular Quick-Set profile system, heights, widths, and layouts can be easily adapted to existing machinery.
How are machine guarding systems installed?
Machine guarding systems are assembled using aluminum profiles, allowing fast and clean installation. With the Montech MPS framing system, guarding solutions can be seamlessly integrated into new installations or retrofitted to existing machines, conveyors, or production lines.
What are the advantages of Montech machine guarding?
Montech machine guarding systems provide high safety standards, reliable protection of hazardous zones, and easy access for maintenance. The modular aluminum profile systems offer high stability, flexible expansion, and compatibility with other Montech automation components.
How quickly are machine guarding systems delivered?
Delivery times depend on the system type and configuration. Typical lead times are approximately 15 working days for the Safety Hood SH and 12 working days for the Safety Wall SW (subject to prior sale).
Which safety components can be integrated?
Optional components include safety interlock switches, anti-fall devices, and transparent protective panels. Due to the modular design of Montech’s aluminum profile systems, these elements can be precisely integrated into the guarding structure.
Which industries use machine guarding systems?
Machine guarding systems are used across production, assembly, mechanical engineering, packaging, and automation industries. Montech develops stable and precisely adapted safety solutions for a wide range of industrial applications.
Can machine guarding be adapted to existing installations?
Yes. Thanks to the Montech MPS aluminum framing system, machine guarding solutions can be adapted with millimeter precision to existing machines, conveyor systems, transfer systems, and workstations.
