Every polycarbonate machine guard we fabricate adheres to stringent quality control protocols, ensuring dimensional accuracy, material integrity, and compliance with international safety standards like EN ISO 14120 and OSHA.
The Polycarbonate Advantage
250x stronger than glass. Virtually unbreakable, providing ultimate protection against flying debris and mechanical failure.
Up to 92% light transmission. Allows operators to monitor machinery safely with zero visual distortion or hazing.
Compliant with UL94 V-0/V-2 standards. Self-extinguishing material that enhances fire safety in industrial environments.
Resistant to common industrial coolants, oils, and cleaning agents, ensuring long-term durability in harsh factory settings.
50% lighter than glass. Reduces the structural load on machines and makes maintenance/installation much easier.
Ideal for CNC cutting, heat bending, and drilling. Can be tailored to fit even the most complex machine geometries.
Versatile Applications
Transparent guards for lathes, mills, and grinders, providing operator protection from chips and coolants.
Custom enclosures for robotic arms and automated production lines, ensuring safety without blocking vision.
FDA-compliant polycarbonate guards for hygiene-critical areas, easy to clean and sanitize.
Clear protective covers to safeguard operators from moving parts in high-speed packaging equipment.
Heavy-duty shields to protect against flying debris and sawdust, maintaining visibility for precision work.
Tailored guards for unique machinery, ensuring bespoke fit and comprehensive operator protection.

Machine Guard Polycarbonate Thickness Selection
| Guard type | Recommended thickness | Standard / note |
|---|---|---|
| Light guards (swarf, splash) | 4 mm solid PC | ISO 14120 light impact |
| Medium guards (small parts) | 6 mm solid PC | ISO 14120 medium impact |
| Heavy guards (robots, presses) | 10 mm solid PC | ISO 14120 high impact |
| Scratch-prone / cleaned often | Hard-coated PC (MR5E-class) | Taber <8% haze, half MR5E price |
We CNC cut, drill, chamfer and edge-polish guard panels to your drawings (±0.1 mm), and can supply hinged/panel assemblies with fixings. Send DXF/DWG for a quote — typically returned within 24 hours.
What thickness polycarbonate is used for machine guards?
4 mm for light guards, 6 mm for medium, 10 mm for high-impact applications per ISO 14120. Hard-coated PC is recommended where panels are cleaned frequently.
Do you cut machine guard panels to size?
Yes — CNC cutting, drilling, chamfering and edge polishing to your drawings, with protective film kept on during machining and removed at install.
Are polycarbonate machine guards ISO 14120 compliant?
Polycarbonate is the standard impact-rated material for machine guards under ISO 14120 and similar standards; we supply impact test documentation with your batch.
