Warwick Manufacturing Group, which is a centre of excellence within the engineering department at Warwick University, has selected the unique Angel modular machine guarding system from Procter Machine Guarding for a new installation around an automated self-pierce rivet system.

Because of the frequently changing nature of research laboratories, the modular guarding is ideal in that it can be reused, reconfigured or extended quickly, easily and cost-effectively.

Dr Ken Young, Principle Research Fellow at Warwick Manufacturing Group, is extremely complimentary about the Angel system, saying:

“It is ideal for our situation where we regularly need to rearrange the guarding.

"Shortly we will be extending the self-pierce rivet cell so we will be ordering additional posts and panels. Fitting these will be very quick, and the fact that we can reuse all the existing hardware is crucial to keeping our costs down.

"I would definitely use Angel again should we need to install more guarding in the future.”
