Oxford Machine Guarding
Machine guarding engineered around people and production.
Oxfordshire-based guarding and safety-system engineering for manufacturers, machine builders, robot integrators and automation projects across Great Britain.
Start with the hazard, access task and stopping behaviour.
Oxford Machine Guarding provides machine guarding and integrated safety systems for new equipment, existing machinery and connected automation. Cobot Guarding is the specialist route for collaborative-robot applications that need proportionate physical protection, sensing and access control.
Projects are developed around the production environment and the people who operate, clean, set and maintain the equipment. The objective is a safeguarding arrangement that is technically defensible, practical to use and clear to hand over.

UK-wide supportSurveys and installations planned around location, access and production constraints.One route from survey to handover.
The agreed scope can cover a single guard, a safety-system modification or a coordinated safeguarding work package.
Site surveys & reviews
Capture the machine, hazards, tasks, interfaces, controls, available space and installation constraints.
Mechanical design
Frames, mesh, clear and solid panels, doors, transfer interfaces and bespoke fabricated details.
Safety-system design
Interlocks, locking, scanners, light curtains, emergency stops, relays, PLC interfaces and reset control.
Supply & manufacture
Defined hardware and guarding packages prepared for installation and coordinated with the application.
Installation & commissioning
Planned site work around production, permits, access, isolation and integration responsibilities.
Validation & documentation
Functional checks and proportionate project handover evidence within the agreed boundary.
