The extrusions come in fractional and metric sizes. Units include panels, hinges, door handles, wire mesh, lift-off hinges, and extruded aluminum framing.

Fence off restricted areas
The EcoSafe guarding system consists of prefabricated screen frames, suspension brackets, and baseplates. Screen frame elements come in a number of sizes and configurations and are hung on suspension brackets bolted to upright posts. The manufacturer, Bosch Automation Technology, Buchanan, Mich., says the components are easily re-configurable; users can modify or extend the enclosures with add-on and conversion parts.
