ANSI Guard-Opening Scale

ANSI Guard-Opening Scale—Rockford Systems, Inc. has created an ANSI guard-opening scale to use for reference when determining guard application requirements and allowable guard openings. The design of this folding aluminum guard-opening scale is based on "A Review of Machine-Guarding Recommendations" by Donald R. Vaillancourt and Stover H. Snook of the Liberty Mutual Research Center for Safety and Health. The ANSI/RIA R15.06 safety standard for industrial robots and robot systems, as well as recently revised ANSI B11–series safety standards for machine tools, use the guard-opening data from this study. The Canadian power press standard, CSA Z142-02, also uses the data from this study. One side of the scale shows English units; the other side shows metric units.
