Our Comprehensive Service for Safety Guarding Consultation and Installation

Health and safety regulations, along with accident prevention requirements, stipulate that machine tools must be equipped with fixed safety guards such as chuck guards, chip guards, or spindle guards. Safety accessories such as emergency stop push-buttons with restart protection are also essential components of a compliant setup.

MOWOTAS offers a wide range of safety guarding solutions compatible with many different machine types. These guards are available in various sizes and shapes and can be retrofitted with minimal effort to almost any machine tool. All our safety solutions comply with current safety standards and the European Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.

Tailored Advice and Installation Services for All Manufacturers

As an industry partner in safety technology, we support you throughout all stages of acquiring and commissioning machine safety equipment:

1. Guidance Before Purchase

Our expert team is available to advise you even before you make a purchase decision. Whether it’s our in-house technical sales staff or a technician from one of our qualified partner companies, we assess your specific requirements and recommend the appropriate safety guard tailored to your machine’s make and model.

2. Support for Custom Solutions

For larger or specialised machinery, we offer bespoke safety guarding. We take precise measurements and manufacture customised guards according to your individual needs and compliance requirements.

3. Professional Installation

If required, installation is carried out by experienced technicians from our partner companies, operating in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Our partners are qualified in both the mechanical and electrical aspects of machine safety – from installing safety guards on lathes, milling, and drilling machines, to integrating and securing emergency stop systems with restart prevention.

Before installation, we offer on-site consultation to explain the functionality of the safety equipment and how it can be effectively integrated with your machine.

Ensuring Compliance and Supporting Safety Inspections

We are happy to assist you during on-site inspections with safety authorities or occupational insurance providers. We help implement the protective measures agreed upon during these assessments and work closely with inspectors to meet their requirements. Additionally, we support you in fulfilling the obligations arising from your risk assessments and, if needed, carry out equipment inspections in accordance with applicable safety standards (e.g., similar to DGUV Regulation 3).

Complete Safety Solutions from a Single Source

For us, comprehensive machine safety doesn’t stop at guarding. Our technicians can also upgrade your machines with modern, safe lighting and ergonomic accessories such as wooden gratings or protective partition walls.
