Rockford Systems launches press safety inspection service

Rockford Systems LLC, a provider of machine safeguarding and combustion safety systems, now offers a press safety inspection service, which evaluates the mechanical operation and safety compliance of punch presses and press brakes.

The company’s inspectors visit customers on-site. The visual inspection determines if part-revolution punch presses and press brakes and full-revolution punch presses are in safe working order according to OSHA regulations and ANSI standards. This determination follows a series of function tests including press stop times, safety distance measurements, and inspection of safeguards and controls.

In addition, a visual mechanical inspection assesses the proper functioning of the press, condition of press lockout/tagout devices, safeguarding and controls, NFPA 79 electrical compliance, tooling or dies and their setups, and any auxiliary safeguarding.
