OmniTest 10 Standard Guard, Twin Column System
Introduction
Health and safety are paramount when using machinery with moving parts, and motorized test equipment is no exception. Safety guards prevent access by the operator to the testing area while the test is in progress, acting as a barrier from moving parts where there exists a risk of hands and arms getting caught.
Standard guards
Mecmesin test systems can be supplied with a standard safety guard. These have a rigid metal frame with integrated polycarbonate panels to allow the operator to view the test area from outside. Hinged doors are fitted with switch-activated interlock mechanisms that prevent system operation when open.
Guards for single-column test stands are provided on a solid metal platform, with location holes available for securing a workbench to ensure complete stability.
Guards for twin-column test stands are supplied with new equipment and pre-fitted to our factory's tester, all ready for use when unpacked and installed.
Custom-design guards
Due to individual requirements for accommodating different-sized grips and test specimens. Please get in touch with us with your needs, and tell us the stand model for which it is intended. Below is a selection of custom-built guards designed and manufactured by Mecmesin for customers using our range of force and torque test systems.
