Packing Safety Cells
Surrounding the robotic packing cell is a fenced safety enclosure, designed with multiple safety and operational considerations in mind. Its primary purpose is to ensure operator safety while maintaining optimal workflow efficiency.
1 - Electrical Component Costs (Incl. PLC & HMI’s)
Our typical packing cell package includes all listed line items, along with a dedicated electrical component that accounts for all wiring, trunking, electrical control boxes, panel construction, isolator switches, PLC, HMI, and related infrastructure. This cost component is substantial due to the complexity and scope of the electrical integration.
2 - Interlocked Safety Pack
All safety devices are connected to either a safety PLC or a safety controller. These devices include safety-rated relays, emergency stops, light curtains or beams, door interlocks, and mute lights, among others. Although quoted as a combined line item, the cost remains significantly lower than that of the main electrical components.
3 - Gates And Fencing
Safety fencing and gates form the core of the mechanical protective barrier. For less restrictive access, interlocked safety curtains and light beams can be used at designated entry points. Some clients prefer interlocked hardware access barriers, which we also offer as part of our system design.
4 - Trunking Options
We offer three primary types of wiring trunking. The most robust option is a horizontal trunking ladder system (multi-level if required), which can include separate tracks for clients requesting distinct power and sensor routing. The second option is a conventional steel wire mesh design (available in stainless steel or galvanized finish), mounted on angle-iron frames and reinforced with a stiffening bar. The third is a fully enclosed system (stainless steel or galvanized) with a closing lid, securely fixed to the floor for added protection.
