Plate rolls expose operators to in-running nips at the roll bite, crushing between the plate and the frame, pinch points at pinch and bending rolls, and entanglement in drives and rotating stock. PowerSafe engineers the safeguarding package to the machine and the way it's loaded. Typically with floor-level safety mats around the roll station monitored by a safety controller, pedestal-mounted two-hand operator control, and emergency rope pull stops along the roll length. Method and coverage are selected from the machine's risk assessment, because reach, stock size, and operator approach differ on every plate roller.

Key Features

• Floor-level safety mats sized to the roll station, detecting whole-body approach and sized to the safe distance
• Mats monitored by a safety controller or safety relay integrated to the machine's stop circuit
• Pedestal-style two-hand control stand keeps both operator hands outside the hazard zone through the cycle
• Emergency rope pull stops along the roll length, reachable from any point an operator works
• Manual reset required after any trip, with the reset device outside the detection field and in full view of it
