The importance of machine guarding
Torus machine guarding is designed to provide robust protection for a variety of needs, including safeguarding machinery, preventing trespassing, and ensuring the safety of your environment.

Assessing individual needs is just the first step; here, sales engineer Ben Hughes talks us through the process.

Torus machine guarding is suitable protection, trespassing prevention, encroachment control, safety and environmental control. It safeguards machinery and personnel from accidents, and keeps unauthorised individuals from entering restricted areas. It defines boundaries within the workspace to prevent accidental or intentional encroachment, and ensures a safe working environment by mitigating risks associated with industrial machinery. It also helps maintain a controlled environment, free from contaminants and other hazards.
A key element of the machine guarding that Torus designs is flexibility. The company specialises in designing and building completely bespoke machine guarding solutions tailored to unique requirements. Any layout can be accommodated, and there is no maximum size limit for the machines the guarding can protect. Whether your machinery is large or small, Torus has a solution that fits.
The design process starts with email or phone call to discuss customer requirements. If necessary, Torus can arrange a free-of-charge site visit to provide an accurate quote. The Torus design team will then draft a concept included in the quote, ensuring customers have a clear vision of the final product.
The flexibility in the design extends to colour and accessories. Torus offers a comprehensive range of colours to suit customer branding and aesthetics, and a range of accessories and customisable options. These include doors, electrical sockets, data points, pneumatics ring main and other essential services around the perimeter.
The modular design of Torus Machine Guarding offers several benefits. It is customisable, so can be designed to specific customer needs. And should the guarding be damaged, it is easy to replace any part. The guarding is versatile, too: it can be used for various applications beyond machinery protection, such as privacy screens or walkway segregation.
