safety guarding

Safety guards designed and built by Machines and Controls Ltd.

Safety guarding

This design won an industry award. The gate leaves have automatic locks built into the hinges making it very quick to open and close them. The gate concertinas into a very small space and does not need supporting structure above or jockey wheels below. The hinges are sealed against ingress of water to the pivots.


Concertina Sections

The concertina design means the guarding folds back out of the way when the saw is not running giving easy access for loading and unloading.

Standard Packages

Standard Packages

The gates are supplied as a standard package. 


The gates can be assembled in many different configurations using our standard off-the-shelf components.


We supply a standard control system to integrate the guarding into the machine electrical system.

Opening the Safety Guarding

The Guarding can only be opened once the saw has come to a standstill.

Closing the Safety Guarding

The saw will not start unless the gate has been shut so that operators are safe.
