Do you have grinders, belt sanders, disc sanders, bandsaws, drill presses, mills, etc. that still coast to a stop? In some cases these machines coast for over a minute after the stop button is pushed. This creates an unsafe condition, especially if the operator walks away after pushing the stop button.
The good news is that Bulwark offers the MAKESafe braking system:
This system brings your machine to a complete stop in seconds.
This video compares the stop time for grinders with a brake and without a brake: Bench Grinder Stop Time Video.
In addition to braking, MAKESafe systems also provide:
- Pendant for easy access to E-Stop, Start and Stop buttons.
- Integration of guard interlocks, so that the machine will brake to a stop if a guard is opened during operation and will not start if a guard is open.
- Anti-restart circuit to ensure your machine will not restart without using the start push button.
- Easy to mount, and in many cases, a plug and play design that does not require any wiring.
We even offer complete pedestal grinders with guards, brakes, and e-stops already installed.
Whether your machines are completely unguarded or you just need to upgrade your machine guarding with braking, we can help. We can also provide complete installation and integration of your machine guarding system.
