  • 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.

  • 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

  • @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.

  • Really helpful video, thanks!

  • @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

  • @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

    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
