“With Guardian, we not only protect our team but also deliver the best product to our customers.”

The journey to creating the next generation band saw began in 2015. Our aim was to develop a product with reliable performance, customer-focused support, and uncompromising safety features. Our answer: Guardian Bandsaw was developed in partnership with New Zealand’s meat processing industry.

Frequently asked questions

How does the vision safety system work?

There are four cameras constantly monitoring the blade for a specific colored glove, which creates a virtual safety zone. As soon as one of the cameras detects the glove inside the safety zone, the bandsaw stops before the operator’s hand comes into contact with the blade.​ This is done in a matter of milliseconds.

Does the safety system really work?

Yes, it does. Guardian has thousands of bandsaws operating around the world, which have amassed over 1.5 million run-hours and zero injuries.

Will the bandsaw work without the safety systems live?

No, the bandsaw always fails to a safe state and will not start again unless all safety systems are functional. This ensures the absolute safety of your operators.

Can I wash down the bandsaw?

Yes, our bandsaws are IP69k washdown-rated. We accomplish this with Moisture GuardTM - triple-sealed stainless steel that shields electrical components from moisture.

To clean the bandsaw, your team can simply open up the door to access all areas. This process has been verified food-safe by Ecolab.

I can see that Guardian is an international company. How will my bandsaws be serviced?

Guardian has multiple locations and an operation in Omaha, Nebraska. Here, we stock spare parts and employ service technicians to provide excellent after-sales support. ​
