Machinery Options for Workforce Safety

One thing that gets plenty of attention in the industrial world is worker safety.  Skyrocketing costs for medical care and workers’ compensation insurance have prompted studies into how to improve worker safety.  Many company owners also simply want to do the right thing and protect their workers from mishaps on the job.  Because of this, more and more industrial business owners are considering ways to make their workplaces safer for themselves and the people who work for them.

This is where installing an Automatic Tube CutOff Machine can transform a workplace from unsafe to safe and productive.  By investing in a machine that automatically loads, handles and unloads metal tubes, owners of businesses that specialize in cutting tubes can make their workplaces safer and more productive.

 How A Rotating-Head Cutoff System Makes Your Workplace Safer

 Increased safety in an industrial workplace is often a product of reducing contact with material.  The fewer times workers have to handle metal pipe stock, for example, the less opportunity there is for injury. 

A rotating-head cutoff machine system can significantly reduce the amount of contact workers need to have with metal stock.  With a loading and unloading system using pulleys, stock can be mass-loaded at the front end of the production run.  The machine automatically sorts the stock by length, maximizing the efficiency of the cuts.  Workers are not required to load and unload stock for each separate cut; the servo-driven machine does this at the touch of a button.  Not only will the computerized machine sort the stock optimally, it can also tell the rotating head to perform a wide range of cuts on stock including cutting for length, boring, chamfering, beveling and other processes.  All of this can be done with a touch of a button and does not require individual loading or unloading by workers.

Finally, it is time to unload the tubes and put them onto trucks for delivery.  Workers can easily unload the stacked tubes and transport them without having to sort or handle the stock more than once.  Because of cutting down on handling, unloading the stock and transporting it, which used to be one of the major sources of injury, becomes much safer as well as more streamlined and efficient.

Ultimately, a rotating-head system can make your workers safer while increasing productivity–two winning benefits for shop owners!
