Effective Machine Guarding Solution



Stein Bros. Steel, a full-service steel fabricator located in Rice Lake, WI, a supplier to the construction industry, wanted to grow its market share by expanding its product offerings to customers. The company decided to invest in a new automated rebar mesh welding system, which for safety purposes, meant that Stein Bros. needed to secure a large amount of fixed machine guarding on a tight time frame.

Stein Bros. chose to partner with Air Engineering and Supply and utilized Husky's Velox machine guarding system. Air Engineering and Supply engineers and Husky engineers worked together to design a machine guarding solution that featured quick and easy assembly combined with simple installation and field modification to create the exact fit Stein Bros. needed around the perimeter of the rebar mesh welding system.

"Velox guarding not only met the company's required internal security needs but also exceeded regulatory safety standards," said a company spokesperson. "For Stein Bros., the three most important features of Husky's Velox guarding were superior product design, quick order delivery and ease of installation." The Velox guarding system installed at Stein Bros. comprised 6,700 sq. ft. of guarded area, which included 380 linear feet of 6' high guarding panels, sixty 6' posts and three 3' swing doors.

The Operations Manager for the Stein Bros. facility said that the Velox guarding design was easy to work with and made for an easy installation. Because of the flexibility of the product, he was able to modify on-site to accommodate for some uneven floor issues. "The results of choosing Velox machine guarding exceeded expectations and Stein Bros. plans to use Velox on future applications," concluded the spokesperson.
