PROTECH SYSTEMS, has developed a new series of SAFETY BLOCKS. Safety Blocks provide safety during set up and maintenance for power presses. This is done by mechanically and electrically preventing inadvertent die closure. The new model 42o Safety Blocks are for smaller presses, with a maximum static load of 35 tons (having a wide span of adjustable heights). Made of high strength lightweight extruded aluminum. Selection of the proper style and size is determined by the press static load and the required open height. Safety Blocks using wedges are also available, as well as our standard model 42 for larger presses.

The Protech Pressure Sensitive Safety Mat provides the benefit of increased safety without significant productivity decreases. The Safety Mat can be installed so that if a person stands on the mat, the associated machine will instantly stop and will not start until the Mat is clear. The Safety Mat is heavy duty, soft molded vinyl and is extremely resistant to wear, oils, grease, and most chemicals. It comes in a variety of sizes to best serve a company’s needs. Safety Mats may not qualify as point of operation devices on some machine tool applications because of ANSI and OSHA standards on machines such as punch presses and press brakes, but can be used to augment point of operation devices on these machines or used as primary safety devices on other machines. These mats are easily integrated into existing control stop circuits. Unless the mats have to be removed or heavy vehicular traffic prohibits it, we recommend that aluminum molding be purchased with the mats to insure that they stay in place and dirt or other foreign matter doesn’t build up under them. Incidental heavy traffic is not a problem, we rate these mats at 1000 psi. This means that even an occasional forklift will not affect the performance of the mat (most forklifts have a foot print of about 300 psi).
