Aluminium guards can be modified more quickly

The advantages of Valuframe aluminium profile machine guards over steel construction are the ability for the supplier to design functional and economical guards in a short period of time and the potential for the end user to quickly install and, if necessary, amend the guard structure easily in future if changes are needed. Because a Valuframe aluminium profile guard has no welds and no painting, the guard structure can be amended in a short time, seamlessly.

Where a perimeter machine guard enclosure is required, such as around large machines or robot enclosures, Automation Supplies offers a range of standard panel sizes for fast delivery and simple construction. These are available with black painted steel, galvanised steel or aluminium wire mesh infills. Also available are panels with painted steel, acrylic, polycarbonate, aluminium sheet and expanded coloured plastic sheet. There are many colours available to co-ordinate with corporate colour schemes. The panels fit together in moments and removal or repositioning is simple.

A full range of modular doors and supports complement the panels. For clean areas, flat finish profiles can be used to minimise open slots, which helps to prevent dirt traps.

These are 'flat pack' panels ready to be packed for shipping. This reduces shipping costs to the customer.

Automation Supplies also offers a free design service to help evaluate the design prior to order.
