Machine Guarding

Woven & Welded Wire Guarding Systems

WireCrafters offers both woven and welded wire machine guarding and perimeter guarding systems to protect and separate property, equipment, and personnel. By the nature of its woven wire or welded wire design, WireCrafters guarding systems provide an unparalleled level of safety and security.

Woven Wire Mesh Guarding

The traditional woven wire mesh machine guarding systems are constructed of a 10 gauge wire, woven into a 2" x 1" rectangular mesh. This heavy mesh is welded inside a 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" x 1/8" angle frame. The woven wire machine guarding system is in stock in both 6’ 2" and 8’ 5-1/4" heights.

RapidWire HD™ Welded Wire Guarding

The more modern RapidWire HD™ welded wire machine guarding system provides an unparalleled level of security. RapidWire HD™ machine guarding features three basic components – framed panels, posts, and a wide variety of door styles. Install any type of machine perimeter guarding required to separate moving equipment and make your work area or robotic cell safe to use. RapidWire HD™ is a 10 gauge welded wire constructed in a 1-1/4" x 2-1/2" rectangular pattern. The sturdy welded mesh is surrounded by a 13 gauge rolled formed angle frame.

Always on Guard

These fully-framed woven wire or welded wire mesh panels bolt to posts forming a strong, secure barrier around dangerous automated equipment. Unlike high-tech light curtains and switch mats that are subject to electrical malfunctions, these safety systems are always on guard.

Easily Customizable & Configurable

The RapidWire HD™ machine guarding and perimeter guarding systems utilizes a modular wire mesh panel design which allows for multiple combinations of standard parts to meet your specific space and guarding requirements. We offer a full line of optional accessories, such as hinged doors, sliding doors, and lift out panels to integrate with your machine guarding equipment. The welded wire’s straight lines and inherent strength of either the woven or welded wire provide a strong, modern looking guard to complement your facility and equipment. WireCrafters stocks a variety of meshes to meet requirements for heavy, medium, or light duty jobs.

WireCrafters can tailor-make a guarding system that meets your rigorous safety standards.

RapidWire HD™, with its modular design, can be installed in 20% to 25% less time when compared to competing products. RapidWire HD™ is simple to plan, and easy to install.
