Press Brake Tooling from Wilson Tool - Common Shut Height Tooling

[brakebob]

i think workforce safety should talk to these guys.it's all on video.

[brakebob]

tim harold really does'nt care about safety.notice the operator has no kevlar ppg?no safety glasses,no ear plugs.most likely no steel toes or met gaurds.most likely a salary person.

i ran cinncinati brakes for7 years

@brakebob Hey Bob, you with Bobcat? I thought biz was consolidated to Gwinner? If you're with them still it would be cool to hear from someone that does bending with them because I work for a vendor close by and I'm always looking for improvement with finished brake parts, except from those who will deal with it next on the line, not from a genetic email from sales, but the people who HANDLE the goods. Let me know.

@subydudepornstar  i worked at biz bobcat for 17 years.oh ya.

Wilson tools are best for the buck. HRC level and nitrate coating can take alot of abuse. You will replace machine O.E.M. name tooling 2x or more before your Wilson product will give you grief. Don't waste money if you need potency, go with the muscle!

[brakebob]

i think someone should contact osha and show them this video.this operator is reaching through the dies on hitting the foot pedal.absolutley against osha guidelines.obviously not a union shop.go ahead and squish your fingers or hands off.

[brakebob]

where are the light curtains?this operator is running without safety measures.i've been a press brake operator for years at the bobcat plant in bismarck,nd.

We use Wilson tooling in our Amada machine. Great quality punches.

We use wilson tooling and it is JUNK!

10 years + programming and operating brakes, turret presses, I’ve seen a lot of sh!& just because operator decided to run machine with no safety. Guard doesn’t matter how skilled you are SAFETY FIRST I only have 10 fingers and I love every single one of them…. a lot.

Cheers

Ps … now I’m into cnc milling and loving  it

Ive ran an amada rg-100 for about 8 years now, who in theyre right mind holds there part from the sides like that?? i hold all of my parts from the front, even if only .25" of the part is showing, i hold it with the tip of my thumb and my fingers keep my hand from moving into the path of the punch. we use all wilson tooling , mostly the .47/.78 die with standard and goosneck punches,

great tools wilson just what we need

[marekder2]

NO LASER GUARD OR Safety Light Curtains. machine goes down from high to slow position with operator hand between punch and die.3.25 3.35 3.44

[poida84]

@marekder2 he has no choice in the posistion plus you would lose your hand there with no punch or die there

[boredseverly]

@poida84

he has no choice? Have you ever even ran a press before? Please explain why he has no choice but to run his hands in the tool path. I bet if he saw somebody lose an entire hand in a press like i have seen, he wouldnt be holding it like that....( and fyi it was in an amada promecam14' down acting press, with a single footpedal instead of 2 for both operators with no light curtain

[poida84]

@boredseverly tell me how else would he keep the work piece in possistion? he had to hold it somehow from behind to bend the difficult folds. he has enough room between the two setups not to have his hand or arm cut off... have you operated a press befor? and how long for?

[poida84]

@boredseverly and from what i see the guy has expirence using the press brake. have you seen any of those tools work side ways besides up and down? will it move side ways and chop his hand off?

sorry to hear you seen someone lose a hand. anyone who operates one should have full saftery unduction and supervision when starting out.

yes iv operated many for 9 years now so i know what i see there and have done simmilar setups and hold work peices from around and behind the tool

[HondaCrDrummer]

@marekder2 Agree with you ! The tooling should be down to the safe zone distance, If he does need to have his hand behind the tooling, make sure that the tooling is down to the safe zone, and no part of your clothing can catch, or the material can pull your hand in.

i wish my workplace looked like this.
