Pipe manufacturers often use pipe benders in production to manufacture products. PIPE SHOW 2024 believes that paying attention to safety is a prerequisite for all production activities when operating heavy equipment in the workshop.
Pipe bending equipment bends steel pipes into the required shape. The equipment has great force during startup. If the operator operates improperly, they will face danger. A common machine can usually bend a 3-inch pipe and uses a 4-inch hydraulic cylinder to clamp the die. Under 2000 PSI of hydraulic pressure, the cylinder generates 25,000 pounds of closing force - enough to cause serious injury.
Therefore, many practitioners have begun to investigate safety hazards in factories and strengthened safety measures.
Safety inspections need to be performed regularly, and PIPE SHOW 2024 believes that at the end of the year, such a slack time is the best time for equipment upgrades and strengthening safety protection, and only in this way can preparations be made for resuming work after the year.
Here are some common security measures:
It projects a laser a few inches above the floor. When the laser beam detects an object in a certain area, the machine will not start or stop directly.
Compared with traditional mats, the advantage of the scanner is that it has a larger coverage area and its shape can be freely defined. Some scanners can provide multiple optional areas, covering different parts shapes. Such equipment can more comprehensively ensure the safety of operators.
Areas that ground scanners cannot cover can be fitted with fences to prevent people from stepping into or reaching into these areas.
If these areas need to be frequently checked for status or maintenance, then these fences should be equipped with keys. Safety fences need to be set up around various mechanical drive systems, hydraulic motors and couplings, and core shaft mechanical equipment.
When the emergency stop button is pressed, the machine stops all activities and can autonomously cut off any risky power sources to ensure operator safety.
