HANDS-FREE MACHINING – INCREASING USER SAFETY WITH BETTER RESULTS!

We are seeing more plants, refineries, mining operations and production, and maintenance facilities adopting requirements to utilize hands-free machining equipment. These operations have seen CLIMAX | H&S TOOL equipment in action and understand the clear safety benefits to operators.

“Tools that are designed to be hands-free are always a safer option, as you can see in this video. Hands-free machining also provides a much more consistent surface finish compared to manual feed finishes. Any time you can keep an operator away from a moving component during operation you are minimizing the threat of a serious injury,” says Jim Miller, Global Training Manager

We understand that most safety hazards arise from human error and environmental factors. That’s why CLIMAX l H&S TOOL products are designed to be hands-free, user-friendly and mistake-proof to the highest degree possible. Here are some of the innovative safety features CLIMAX l H&S TOOL deliver to help you and your people stay safe on the job:

• Feed controls located on the outside of machines means no more reaching in!
• Emergency Stop (E-Stop) for quick stops and controlled re-starts
• Low-Pressure Safety Interlock prevents unintended re-starts after the loss of supplied air pressure
• Feed rates can be adjusted while the machine is running – no need to stop or change parts to adjust the feed rate
• Remote on/off control of feed systems keeps operators hands away from moving parts
