How to install our different locks on our plastic and sheet metal panels

Machine guarding is an essential safety measure in industrial settings where workers are exposed to hazardous machinery. Proper machine guarding can prevent workplace injuries, reduce the risk of accidents, and protect workers from harm. One critical aspect of machine guarding is the use of locks to ensure that the machine remains in a safe state. 

 

Why do we have different safety lock alternativies for the automation industry? 

In industrial settings, machines are often operated by different workers who may have varying levels of expertise and training. As a result, it is crucial to use different lock alternatives within machine guarding to ensure that only authorized personnel can operate or service the machines.
