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.
Can I wash down the bandsaw?
Yes, all parts of our bandsaw are washdown-rated.
Does the safety system really work?
It does. Guardian has hundreds of bandsaws operating around the world, which have amassed over one million combined run-hours and 0 injuries.
Find out more about why Guardian is the safest bandsaw in the world.
Will the bandsaw work without the safeties?
No, the bandsaw always fails to a safe state and will not start again unless all safety systems are functional. This ensures the total safety of your operators.
