STS INFRARED GUILLOTINE GUARD

Safety-Scan Ltd is a leader among the few who have developed a safety light curtain that not only meets the strict requirement of the British standard BS 6491 but in conjunction with Premier Guillotine Systems Limited (PGS), and with our extensive experience with Paper Cutting Guillotines, we can now produce a guarding system that can easily be installed on the vast majority of guillotines currently in use today.

PGS have been involved with the installation and upgrading of safety systems for paper cutting Guillotines since 1981 and have had experience with most types of UK manufactured guards, subsequently becoming the leading installer of Safety-Scan.

Infrared light curtains offer the most flexible option when it comes to the guarding of moving machinery; and apart from physical screens or guards, optical light curtains are the only electro sensitive devices accepted by the P.I.A.C "Printing Industry Advisory Committee" safety guidelines, the standard endorsed by the UK Health & Safety Executive.

Monitoring of the guillotine's stopping performance, provided by the digital overrun sensor head, gives peace of mind for the operator as the efficiency of the braking system is checked at every stroke, so should anyone reach into the guarded zone during a cut the operator can be confident that the brake will stop the knife in the shortest possible time.
