Safety Trip Controls

This category includes mechanisms and systems used to provide a quick means of deactivating a fabricating machine in the event of an emergency. Safety trip controls are designed for simple and clear use. Safety trip controls commonly include pressure-sensitive body bars, when deactivate a machine whenever pressure is applied to the bar. This function stops the machine before an operator’s body can reach hazard areas, should that operator trip, lose balance, or otherwise be drawn into the machine.
