| Abstract |
This report presents the results of a study on the feasibility and impact of installing electronic guards on press brakes. The study involved: a literature survey of the hazards of press brakes and safety devices currently available; enterprise visits to observe the conditions of use of press brakes in different industries; and practical trials to investigate the impact of different safety devices on production time and on conditions of work. It was concluded that no one safety device was able to satisfy all safety requirements and that each pressing operation required a separate evaluation of the risks involved. |
