5 MACHINE SAFETY DEVICES
The main safety devices of the press include:
The support spring of the plunger;
Table and bed plate locking pins.
The Press has a
spring
inserted inside the cylinder which
supports the plunger, preventing accidental falling due to
gravity.
It also has the important function of returning the plunger
to the rest position when the pressure in the hydraulic
circuit is "discharged" being a single-acting hydraulic
cylinder.
The press is also equipped with pallet carrier and pressing
plate
locking pins
supplied with cotter pins. After adjusting
the height of the pallet carrier, the steel pins hold it in a
stable secure position. There are two pins for each side of
the pallet carrier.
