Machine Guarding Fence Helps Belgian Car Factory Meet EU Safety Standards
2026-03-09
The Brussels car assembly plant uses interlocking machine guarding fences to isolate welding robots. The fence is resistant to welding sparks and complies with the CE Machinery Directive. After installation, arc burn accidents dropped from three per month to zero. During downtime for maintenance, the fence can be dismantled and reassembled in 10 minutes, saving 60% of the labor time compared to solid barriers. The plant manager stated, “The mesh is transparent and does not obstruct laser positioning, improving welding accuracy by 2%. Annual workplace injury losses have decreased by over 120,000 euros, and the system complies with the EU's stringent safety regulations.”
