Press Brake (Electric -
Distance Bar Trip Guard)
|
|
A distance bar trip guard incorporates a bar, with a screen to prevent access to the tools from underneath. The bar/screen is pulled out to a safe set distance by the operator and has to be at that distance before the clutch of the press brake will operate. This bar is either locked in this position for the duration of the stroke or arranged so that any movement of the bar towards the tools stops the ram of the press brake from descending. The sides and the rear of the press brakes fitted with this type of device are protected with fixed guards.
