Guardlok UK is a company committed to reducing costs by improving
health and safety in the workplace.
Our first product, the SYKYM®
Unit, is a tamper proof security device designed
to prevent unnecessary guarding related accidents by denying workers
access to moving machinery. Typical examples of the machinery fitted
with the SYKYM®
Unit are Motor Drive Units, Flywheels, Band Saws,
Conveyor Belts, Grain Elevators and the guarded areas enclosing robotic
equipment.
More recently,
the SYKYM®
Unit is being used in the food processing sector
to deny access to sensitive areas such as the fill points where foodstuffs
are packaged. This protects companies from having foreign objects
introduced to their products, thus eliminating the need for expensive
product recalls.
The SYKYM®
Unit can be fitted in less than two minutes. Once in
place it is practically impossible to remove with conventional tools.
To date, the only SYKYM®
Unit that has been removed without the matching
'key' was cut off under test conditions with an oxy-acetylene burning
torch.
