A new approach to machine guarding systems  

Machine guarding is now available in a new form – angel modular machine guarding system.

Angel is the result of intensive in-depth market testing, building customer requirements in at the start. Angel offers a host of benefits including versatility, re-configurable options, longer life-spans, trouble free installation and project life-cost savings.

Angel has been created to suit a wide range of industrial applications, and the system provides a practical safety function with an aesthetically pleasing form that works affectively to safeguard your workforce and enhance your working environment.

Built to suit specific market needs and requirements, angel is modular and reusable, quick to deliver, safety compliant, fast to fit, easy to specify, simple to order, aesthetically pleasing.

Angel is the brainchild of Procter Machine Guarding – the UK's leading machine safety specialists. Drawing on over a century of machine guarding experience, Procter have developed the angel concept to suit a wide range of industrial applications.

In an age where health and safety as well as job satisfaction on the shop floor are critical issues, we believe this system is the way forward for certain engineering and manufacturing machine guard applications. The Angel system complies fully with European safety regulations.

Simple to order, quick to deliver and fast to fit, the angel system reduces both labour costs and machine downtime. Because angel can be used again and again, you can achieve big life-cost savings over conventional guarding.   

Modular and re-usable

Angel is a unique, modular system for most perimeter guarding applications. The patented construction elements, which are available in a variety of materials, are designed so angel can be added to, amended, re-positioned and re-used.

Safety compliant

Angel systems have been designed by Procter, the UK's leading machine safety specialists, and fully comply with the applicable European safety requirements.

Easy to specify

Working out your guarding requirements has never been easier. Simply provide your machine footprint, and angel advisors will create the optimum system for you. Simple to order, the machine guarding system of the future is only a phone call away. Experienced angel technical advisors are ready to take your call and are on hand to provide all the help you need.

Quick to deliver

Angel banishes long lead times. Once your order is approved, you can expect delivery within 10 days. Naturally, large projects with complex or tailor-made options may require a longer lead time.

Easy to fit

The Angel system was developed to be both quick and easy to install. Designed to minimise downtime, angel can be fitted quickly and efficiently without specialist tools. 

Interlocks

The angel system is designed to be fully compatible with most electrical and mechanical interlocking devices etc. These can be pre-fitted on the guards ready for on-site connection.

Durable

All angel components are polyester powder coated for an attractive durable finish. The standard colour scheme for posts is black, for mesh charcoal grey metallic, and for doors and fascias yellow. Special colour schemes matched to customer requirements are available on request.

Cable trunking

As an added option, angel also boasts an integrated cable trunking system designed to keep all workers and work areas clear of exposed wiring. Angel trunking is specifically designed to fit any guard layout and give excellent protection, thus ensuring your factory is safe, tidy and even colour coordinated.  

Aesthetically pleasing

The system is strikingly designed to deliver an improved environment, enhancing any factory shop floor or production line. Angel helps transform the working environment, creating a workspace employers and staff will be proud of and visitors will be impressed by.

Post and bracket

Angel circular posts and universal brackets allow fitting of panels in four directions from each post. Each panel can be oriented through 90deg allowing great freedom of directional arrangement with angel guarding layouts.

Panel options

Angel guard panels are available in a range of high impact material specifications to suit different applications. These include heavy duty flat-on-edge welded mesh, steel sheet, and polycarbonate. These options are available in different combinations – e.g. mesh upper and steel sheet lower panels.

Access control

A full range of mechanical and electrical interlock options are available to ensure access within the guarded area is only possible when the machinery is in a safe condition. Interlocks can be provided which are compatible with those already on your site.

Access gate options

Angel access gates are available in different styles to facilitate safe access to the guarded area by personnel or vehicles. Each gate option is robustly designed and constructed to handle heavy use. Gates can be pre-fitted with safety interlocks or provided with a mounting plate for customer fitting.

Finish

All angel guards are supplied finished with a highly durable polyester powder coating. An extensive range of standard colour and finish options for posts, panels and gates is available.

Baseplates

Each base plate is pre-drilled for concrete fixing bolts, which are provided. Alternative fixings are available for steel or open mesh surfaces. Where floors are uneven, posts can be supplied with adjustable base plates.
