Productive Meets Safe: Equipment Enhancements that Help Prevent Press Brake Injuries
Unless they are fully automated, production on CNC press brakes cannot occur without an operator’s hands being constantly in near proximity to a potential danger zone. For this reason, increasing efforts are being directed toward fail-safe measures on these machines. Here are some of the latest improvements that have been developed by press brake manufacturers to reduce the likelihood of accidental injuries.
Simple Safeguarding to Prevent Resistance Welding Injuries
This simple drop-probe device is designed to prevent a press-type resistance welder from cycling if it encounters fingers in the point-of-operation area, therefore preventing contact between the operator and dangerous moving parts.
