Understand Guard Fence Specifications in 5 Minutes
Understand Guard Fence Specifications in 5 Minutes
In today’s smart factories, safety fencing is no longer just about physical barriers — it’s about tailored protection that aligns with operational flow, automation systems, and risk levels. At Aotto, we’ve summarized years of project experience into three essential factors that determine the success of your fencing system: height, mesh type, and gate selection.
This article walks you through the key parameters to help you make informed, efficient decisions in just five minutes.
Height: More Than Just a Physical Barrier
Fence height affects safety, visibility, and accessibility. Choosing the right height depends on the risk level of the area and the need for human or equipment access.
1000mm–1600mm: for high visibility requirements, low risk areas such as logistics corridors, inspection areas, etc.
1800mm–2000mm: for robotic cells, stamping areas, enhanced safety, compatible with interlocking systems
2000mm: for closed cells such as large or overhead cabinets or ceiling-level safety zones
✅ Aotto offers standard heights from 1000mm to 2000mm and fully supports custom requirements.
Mesh Style: A Balance Between Visibility and Safety
Panel material and mesh size play a key role in determining airflow, sightlines, and finger/hand intrusion protection.
Standard Welded Mesh Panels
• Common Size: 100x20mm
• Cost-effective, great visibility for general automation lines
Perforated Metal Sheets
• Ideal for stamping, laser, and welding zones
• Protects against sparks and high-impact debris
Clear PC Panels
• Transparent polycarbonate for visual inspection + clean environments
• Suitable for EV battery assembly and 3C lines
Smaller mesh apertures enhance protection near high-risk zones — always refer to EN ISO 13857 standards when evaluating.
Gate Type: Where Safety Meets Efficiency
Gates are critical control points. The right choice improves operational efficiency while enabling reliable access control.
Hinged (Single): space saving and flexible layout, easy access for daily operators
Double Hinged: wider access for material flow, suitable for forklift aisle and loading area.
Sliding Door: no swing radius and smooth movement, suitable for narrow space, wall-mounted layout.
All Aotto gates support optional smart integrations:
• Safety interlock switches
• Warning light modules
• Access control units (badge scan, QR, facial recognition)
Our gates are plug-and-play with pre-installed hardware and reserved wiring interfaces.
