I am wanting to re-purpose two Fanuc robots with manufacture years of 2005 and 2006, respectively in a new cell. Due to the age of these robot controllers they are not capable of adding the DCS option. I have no way to limit the robot from hitting or going through the guarding, so is double wall guarding an acceptable countermeasure?

Hi Bailey:
According to maintenance manual:
(Inspection 1) Confirm that fuse FUSE2 on the emergency stop printed circuit board is not blown. When it is blown, the LED on the emergency stop printed circuit board lights in red. When FUSE2 is blown, carry out action 1 and replace the fuse.
(Inspection 2) When FUSE2 is not blown, carryout action 2.
(Action 1)
(a) Check the cable of the teach pendant for failure and replace it as necessary.
(b) Check the teach pendant for failure and replace it as necessary.
(c) Replace the emergency stop printed circuit board.
(Action 2)
When the LED on the main board does not light, replace the emergency stop unit. When the LED on the main board lights, carry out action 1.
Good day!

Hi Bailey!
If I understand correctly your problem is you can't build a guard around the cell that the robot can't reach.
In this case you should use laser area scanner, like this:
