Yellow Cord on Diamondback

[bimmridder]

Tony, if I told you that, I'd have to kill you. (did you butt dial me last night?)

Yes, it's for the load and unload stations.

Ha! You never know with me after hours. Heres our "Cone of Do Not Run Out of Ink"

[T Shirt Farmer]

gotta say i did something similar. the yellow railings that are put in front of the loading/unloading stations... ours are gone. i banged my knee on those things when loading so many times the first few weeks, in the middle of a run i went and got the screw gun and they were down.

mine are permanently bypassed   Osha guy probably wouldn't like it...

Get ready to lose everything you own if anyone gets hurt by your press for any reason.. may want to put those safety items back in place..... JMO

Jvanick, is this you? ;-)

A quickly job on our new workhorse javelin

Had cables on an older press but I really like the safety bars on the press I have now.

I agree. They are there for a reason. These machines can literally kill you if you aren't careful.

Jvanick, is this you? ;-)

not me.  I would never stand between the platens on an operating press... what was he thinking?

anybody have a inexpensive source for the magnetic safety cables?  If they're inexpensive enough, I might do some upgrading.  The 1/4" phone plug setup on the old javelin sucked and didn't really add much in the way of safety.

he does load like me tho.. LOL.

I knew it wasn't you... just wanted to highlight that smooth move.

In his defense (not really), he is pedal indexing.  Still not a good idea.

[jvanick]

What was he even messing with on top of the press?  Wired stuff.

[Gilligan]

Yeah, no clue... whatever it was, not worth it!

I really like the bars that we have on both our presses. Easy to open and close with a elbow or whatnot if your hands are full. I did remove the front one from our new machine that was in from if the loader and unloader. Post came up from the floor with bars on either side. Kept straining my back when loading because I had to stand farther back and lean over it. It's in the basement and every time I see it, I think to myself it would be a sweet good ornament!

no wonder he has to take pills for back pain.

the older style cables on the gauntlets were a pain...we bypassed ours.  it was an air press and if you got hit, it hurt, not testing that with the servo...i can only imagine.

Wait, there's supposed to be safety cords on a Javelin?  My press must be reaaaaally old.

Our servo machine(S.Roque) has a sensor on the indexer, so if it hits something it stops. You'll get a bruise but no broken bones!

People were always bypassing the safety bar on Precision Ovals. Unfortunately an operator at Winterland got his skull crushed and died instantly. Tragic. You don't mess with hydraulics.
