What safety features are included in an MCT system?
A number of safety features are standard on every MCT system. Emergency Stop pushbuttons. Emergency Stop pushbuttons are provided at several points which immediately shut down the entire system. The oven burner is shut down immediately while the oven exhaust blowers continue to operate to quickly cool the ovens and prevent any potential fire hazard. Pause/Resume pushbutton. A unique Pause/Resume pushbutton is also provided for the operator, which immediately “freezes” all motion without shutting down the ovens. If the operator merely wishes to clear a jammed stripper plate or check the tooling, the operator presses this pushbutton. When finished, the operator presses the pushbutton again to immediately resume production. Safety Fencing. Safety Fencing encloses the vinyl dip, quench, and strip areas of the machine. An access opening is provided in the strip area for the operator. The opening is protected by a safety area sensor which stops motion when a beam is broken. National Fire Pro
