Altendorf HAND GUARD
Our safest sliding table saw
The world's first optical safety system protects operator, machine and material. Two cameras detect danger before contact — no damage, no downtime.
About the HAND GUARD
The HAND GUARD pairs the proven Altendorf F 45 platform with an industry-first optical safety system that watches the cutting zone with two cameras.
When a hand approaches the blade, the saw aggregate decelerates and the blade drops below the table in milliseconds — without contact, without consumables, and without damaging the blade or workpiece.
Because nothing is destroyed during a stop event, production resumes immediately. The system works across all materials and is compatible with suitable work gloves.

Optical hand detection
Two cameras continuously monitor the danger zone and trigger a stop before contact.
No consumables
Unlike cartridge-based systems, the saw blade and workpiece remain undamaged after a stop.
Material-independent
Works on wood, aluminium, plastic and composites — anywhere a hand could enter the cut zone.
