1023ALTENDORF Now the company has been awarded with the internationally renowned World Technology Leader Award (WTLA)  – with a fantastic third place in the public online voting placed ahead of global corporations such as Apple, Samsonite and Jabra.

Altendorf was nominated for its revolutionary Hand Guard system, globally the first and only certified and AI – controlled safety assistance system for sliding table saws. Two cameras monitor a large area around the saw blade. When a hand is detected and gets too close to the saw blade, it is stopped and driven down in a maximum of a quarter of a second. No damage is done to the sawblade and the system can be operated again after max. 10 seconds.

Many customers such as industrial companies cutting plastics or aluminum, educational facilities or woodshops are using Hand Guard to increase the safety for their workforce.

Hand Guard is an important pillar in Altendorf’s commitment to safety and innovation. The Altendorf Group will continue its efforts to make working with wood and other materials safer and more efficient for professionals around the world. Hand Guard is available through Altendorf’s worldwide dealer network.
