Cell perimeter fencing installation is one of the fundamental machine safety solutions applied in industrial facilities to ensure the safety of robotic cells, automation systems, and hazardous production areas. Today, increasing production speeds, widespread use of robots, and higher levels of automation have made physical separation between humans and machines mandatory. Cell perimeter fencing systems provide this separation in a controlled and standards-compliant manner, preventing workplace accidents and ensuring production continuity.

Robotic cells, press lines, welding systems, automatic assembly stations, and high-speed machines inherently involve serious risks. Managing these risks solely with sensors or software is often insufficient. Cell perimeter fences serve as the first and strongest physical safety barrier, forming the foundation of machine safety architecture.

At Körfeztek Teknoloji, we approach cell perimeter fencing installation not merely as a metal barrier application, but from the perspective of machine safety standards, risk analysis, automation integration, and sustainable production. We offer facility-specific, scalable, and long-lasting cell perimeter fencing solutions.

What Is a Cell Perimeter Fence?
A cell perimeter fence is a protective system installed around robotic cells or hazardous machines to physically prevent unauthorized access and provide safe, controlled entry points. These fences create a secure boundary between humans and machines, preventing accidents.

The main purposes of cell perimeter fencing systems are:

Preventing unauthorized access to hazardous areas
Ensuring safe human–machine interaction
Complying with machine safety standards
Protecting operators and maintenance personnel

Importance of Cell Perimeter Fencing Systems in Industry
A significant portion of industrial accidents results from direct contact between employees and moving or energized systems. Systems such as robots, welding machines, and presses must not be accessible during operation.

Key benefits of cell perimeter fencing systems for industrial facilities include:

Prevention of workplace accidents
Increased employee safety
Protection of machines and equipment
Compliance with legal and safety standards
More controlled and organized production areas
Ensured production continuity

These benefits make cell perimeter fencing an indispensable component of machine safety.

Application Areas of Cell Perimeter Fencing Installation
Cell perimeter fencing systems are used in all production areas where hazards exist or access must be controlled.

Main application areas include:

Robotic welding cells
Automatic assembly cells
Press and forming lines
Palletizing and packaging systems
CNC and machining centers
Conveyor and transfer lines
Test and quality control cells

Each application is specially designed according to its risk level and process structure.

Main Components of Cell Perimeter Fencing Systems
An effective cell perimeter fencing system is created through the combined operation of mechanical and safety components.

Fence Panels
Usually made of steel wire mesh or sheet metal panels. They are durable and long-lasting.

Support Posts
Provide fixation of panels and increase system stability.

Doors (Service and Operator Doors)
Controlled entry and exit points.

Door Switches and Locking Systems
Safety components that stop the machine when doors are opened.

Fixing and Mounting Accessories
Used for secure installation to the floor and structure.

Types of Cell Perimeter Fencing
Cell perimeter fencing systems can be implemented in different designs depending on application requirements.

Wire Mesh Fencing Systems
The most commonly used systems, providing safety without obstructing visibility.

Sheet Metal Panel Fencing Systems
Preferred in areas with welding sparks, laser operations, or chip splashing.

Modular Fencing Systems
Designed to be expandable or modifiable in the future.

Combined Fencing Systems
Systems that combine wire mesh and sheet metal panels.

Cell Perimeter Fencing and Machine Safety Standards
Cell perimeter fencing systems must be designed in accordance with international machine safety standards.

Main standards include:

EN ISO 14120 (Guards for machinery)
EN ISO 13857 (Safety distances)
EN ISO 13849-1 / 13849-2
ISO 10218 (Industrial robot safety)

Körfeztek Teknoloji bases all its projects on these standards.

Integration of Cell Perimeter Fencing with Door Switches
Cell perimeter fencing systems operate together with door switches and interlocked door systems. When a door is opened, the robot or machine automatically stops.

This ensures that:

Unauthorized access is prevented
Maintenance and intervention are made safe
Operator errors are minimized

Use of Cell Perimeter Fencing in Robotic Cells
In robotic cells, perimeter fences completely isolate the robot’s working area.

In such applications:

The robot work area is clearly defined
Human–robot collision risk is eliminated
Physical safety is maximized

Integration of Cell Perimeter Fencing with Area Scanners and Light Curtains
Cell perimeter fencing systems can be combined with non-contact safety systems such as area scanners and light curtains.

This integration allows:

Safety coverage beyond door areas
Creation of dynamic safety zones
Flexible and accessible cell designs

Project Planning and Risk Analysis
Cell perimeter fencing installation must always begin with a detailed risk analysis.

During this process:

Hazardous zones are identified
Safety distances are calculated
Door and access points are planned
Safety levels are determined

This analysis forms the basis of a correct and sustainable safety solution.

Installation and Commissioning Process
Installation quality is critical to the reliability of cell perimeter fencing systems.

The installation process generally includes:

Floor and area preparation
Installation of support posts
Installation of fence panels
Installation of doors and switches
Safety testing and commissioning

Efficiency and Operational Advantages
Cell perimeter fencing systems provide not only safety but also operational efficiency.

Main advantages include:

Safer maintenance processes
Fewer unplanned stoppages
Organized and controlled production areas
Increased employee motivation

Digitalization and Industry 4.0 Perspective
Cell perimeter fencing systems can be integrated with digital safety solutions to become traceable.

Within this scope:

Door opening and closing records
Safety violation reports
Maintenance and usage data

can be transferred to digital platforms.

After-Sales Support and Continuity
Long-term reliability of cell perimeter fencing systems is ensured through regular inspection and maintenance.

Provided services include:

Periodic mechanical inspections
Door and switch testing
Revision and expansion support
Technical consultancy
