Machine Safety
What is Machine Safety?
In manufacturing, safety must always be top of mind, and the right machine safety components can make all the difference. Machine safety refers to equipment designed and used to protect employees from a variety of working hazards. The wide array of safety components includes but is not limited to hand controls, light curtains, relays and controllers, sensors, switches, locks, safety mats, and ergonomic systems. The use of the appropriate machine safety components is imperative in order for manufacturers to meet the minimum industry, state, and federal safety requirements.
Our Machine Safety Components
Hand Controls
Hand controls deliver another layer of safety that is a must have in the manufacturing world. They’re designed to require an operator to have both hands on the control and not in a pinch point in order for the manufacturing process to commence.
Light Curtains
With the use of light curtains, the operation of potentially dangerous machines is turned off when an object or person is detected between the emitter and receiver of the light curtain. Our light curtains include additional features like muting and blanking to provide safe and stable operation in diverse conditions.
Safety Relays & Controllers
Safety relays and controllers are used together with safety input devices (switches, sensors, etc.) to provide safe working environments. These components feature a space-saving slim design and are easy to install.
Sensors, Switches & Locks
Safety sensors, switches, and locks safeguard personnel from injury and protect equipment from damage in potentially dangerous areas. We offer multiple types of sensors, switches, and locks that can provide additional safety protocols in potentially dangerous manufacturing environments.
Safety Mats
Safety mats are pressure-sensitive machine safeguarding products for the industrial marketplace. They are designed to detect the presence or lack of presence of workers or passer-by on the mat surface area around hazardous machines. These safety mats are flexible, impact resilient, functional after punctures, extremely durable and will not rust. We offer the largest selection of sizes and styles available.
Ergonomics
Ergonomic, height-adjustable workbenches are quickly becoming the standard in industry. Our ergonomic solutions cover both light and heavy industrial applications. With ergonomic solutions, you can reduce muscle injuries to employees and increase productivity of your workforce. We can provide you with the right solution for your specific situation.
