Meat bandsaws
Reduce your meat bandsaw injuries to zero
The Guardian Bandsaw delivers an unprecedented vision safety system to reduce serious bandsaw injuries in the meat processing industry.
3D Vision Technology™ stops the blade before injuries occur
Traditional contact sensing only activates after the operator already made contact with the blade. The Guardian anticipates injuries and stops them in their tracks.
3x cheaper to maintain than other safety bandsaws
Increase your throughput and keep your maintenance costs low, thanks to smart engineering decisions.
Safety activations without bandsaw damage
Our patented high-speed camera vision system detects operators’ gloves, no matter how obscured their glove may be. The vision system creates a three-dimensional safety area for the full length of the blade
Easy cleaning with IP69k washdown rating
To clean the machine, just open up the door. All electronics are protected with Moisture Guard™ and can withstand high-pressure, hot water washdowns.
No forced maintenance intervals
We customize our service model so you have the support you need, no more, no less. With extensive documentation, your in-house team can solve most problems without paying expensive technicians.

"Throughout the years, you've seen lots of injuries. With Guardian, it's down to zero."
In 2020, Silver Fern Farms took delivery of three Guardian bandsaws. The result was a reduction of bandsaw injuries to zero.
“Guardian provides the protection the operator needs, but also allows us to track production hours, blade usage, and blade stops.
Guardian stood out from the rest with their safety technology and amazing customer service. There was never a question that went unanswered. They provided videos, quick responses, and assistance with finding the gloves that met their specs but also met ours. I would highly recommend this company to everyone."
Frequently asked questions
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.
Yes, it does. Guardian has thousands of bandsaws operating around the world, which have amassed over 1.5 million run-hours and zero injuries.
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.
Yes, our bandsaws are IP69k washdown-rated. We accomplish this with Moisture Guard™ - 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.
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.
