A safe workplace involves creating and maintaining an environment in which employees are able to work safely. Orbitform takes this seriously and provides multiple safety options for all of our assembly equipment.
Horizontal Safety Probe
This electronic device, consists of two main components: the drop-probe assembly and the control box. The drop-probe assembly functions by allowing the sensing probe to drop around the point-of-operation hazard before each intended machine cycle.
Pneumatic Safety Probe
When a footswitch is activated, a wire ring pivots down. When the ring reaches a predetermined point—less than a finger's width—a solenoid activates the clutch trip mechanism. If the probe is interrupted during descent, the clutch trip mechanism cannot operate. It is easy to install, adjust, and maintain.
Jaw Lowering Safety Probe
This safety device takes the mechanics of the pneumatic safety probe and uses the existing jaws–not a probe–to check for clearance. This option is ideal when part geometry is challenging with the probe arm.
Orbital Safety Probe
Using the same mechanics as our impact line safety probes we replaced the wire ring with a 3D printed cover. This allows for the cover to be custom to fit your application.
