Machine Guarding & Safety Solutions for local businesses and manufacturers in New Oxford
Keeping your team safe is the most important part of running a successful shop. In a busy town like New Oxford, your equipment needs to run at full speed without putting your people at risk. At Kottcamp Sheet Metal, we build high-quality barriers that protect your staff and keep your production lines moving. We are your local partners who know the floor and understand the risks you face every day.
When you install guards built specifically for your gear, you remove the guesswork from safety. Generic covers often get in the way or slow down your team. Custom barriers fit your exact machines, which means your operators can work faster and with more confidence. These safety solutions help you avoid downtime caused by accidents or blocked access points. By matching the guard to the workflow, you create a workspace that is both protected and productive.

Every piece of equipment has its own set of dangers. We design and build a wide variety of barriers to stop these risks before they cause trouble. Our team fabricates perimeter fences, heavy-duty cage systems, and custom shields for rotating parts. We also create clear-view panels, so your team can monitor the work without getting too close to moving blades or belts. Whether you need a simple railing or a complex housing for a large press, we make sure it is tough enough to handle an industrial environment.
Machine guarding is the process of putting a physical barrier between a worker and the dangerous parts of a piece of equipment. This includes covering pinch points, cutting edges, and flying sparks. It is a core requirement for OSHA compliance in Pennsylvania. Without these guards, your business faces the threat of heavy fines and legal issues. More importantly, it is the law because it saves lives. We help you meet these strict rules by building guards that satisfy inspectors and keep your insurance costs in check.

A guard that breaks or rattles loose is just as dangerous as no guard at all. We use high-grade metals and expert welding to ensure every piece we install lasts for years. We do not believe in one-size-fits-all fixes. Our approach looks at how your employees actually use the machines. We make sure maintenance doors are easy to open and that sensors are aligned correctly. This level of detail keeps your facility running without the constant worry of a safety violation or a preventable injury.
We have spent years serving the New Oxford area and building a reputation for honest work. We know that your time is valuable and that you need solutions that work the first time. Our shop handles the design, cutting, and final assembly. This local focus means we can get to your site quickly to take measurements and get your guards installed. You get the peace of mind that comes from working with a neighbor who cares about the local workforce as much as you do.

Custom guards are built to stay out of the way of the operator. When a guard fits perfectly, it does not require constant adjustment. This allows your team to focus on their tasks instead of fighting with a poorly fitted piece of plastic or metal. This leads to fewer mistakes and a faster overall production rate.
We build everything from simple belt guards and chain covers to large-scale expanded metal partitions. Our team works with aluminum, stainless steel, and carbon steel. We specialize in creating hinged access panels that allow for quick maintenance while still meeting all local safety requirements.
It is the practice of shielding hazardous areas on a machine to prevent contact with the body. OSHA requires these shields to be permanent and secure. In Pennsylvania, failing to have these in place can lead to your facility being shut down until the issues are fixed. Proper guarding shows that you are committed to a safe workplace.
A safe shop is a profitable shop. When your team knows they are protected by high-quality barriers, they work with more focus and less hesitation. Kottcamp Sheet Metal provides the durable safety solutions you need to maintain a smooth workflow and a secure environment. We take the stress out of compliance by handling the design and fabrication right here in the local area.
