Safety Features

New machines feature custom-designed guarding with front sliding door for manual loading and unloading of parts, and removable, stationary guards for rear and sides. Physical interlocks are placed on the sliding door and all removable guarding. Program interlocks protect personnel and the machine by requiring certain conditions to be met before allowing machine movement. These same safety features can be added to older machines during rebuild or retrofit. Sound enclosures are available to soften the sound decibels of the motors. They range from an enclosure mounted directly on the hydraulic unit (on smaller machines) to a complete room built around the hydraulic unit on very large machines.
