Modular aluminium profile systems – an essential part of machine safety

Even as machinery and equipment have become much more complex and sophisticated in recent years, still the essence of “safe operation” remains largely unchanged and therefore the most basic solutions to ensure safe operation are also largely unchanged.

Sophisticated machine control systems with built in safety features are there to minimise risk and the catastrophic consequences of machine error and failure, yet little of this can replace the essential function that modular aluminium profile systems from MiniTec are able to provide.

MiniTec are able to provide a wide range of standard and customised machine safety enclosures – machine guards and cages which must fulfil two basic functions:

1. To protect staff from getting to close to dangerous machine operations
2. To ensure that the consequences of a machine malfunction which could result in components or machine parts flying off and injuring staff are minimised.
