Die Safety Blocks
Heavy-Weight Adjustable "SB Series"
Capacity: 125 ton
static load in 1 inch increments. Standard screw adjustability is
5 inches, however, screw adjustment up to 12 inches is available. See Standard
Safety Block SB-1 for configuration and dimensions.
The adjusting screw and nut assembly provides easy
adjustment normally both up and down by hand. These screw devices
are used instead of wedges on the SB-1 adjustable safety press blocks,
allowing for greater span of flexibility. The adjusting screw and nut
assembly is mounted securely on top of the safety
block at the factory. This assembly is used in conjunction with a bottom
end cap for additional stability and safety. The assembly allows up to 5 full
inches of screw adjustment.
Heavy-Weight adjustable safety blocks are available with
handles, holders, and power cut-offs. View options
page for details.
Safety Blocks absolutely need to be used when it is
necessary for a press operator or setup or maintenance personnel to have "HANDS IN DIE," or when
someone is working on or in the die or within the press platen area that could cause injury should the
press activate. Proper procedures call
for the use of die safety blocks in these instances, with the press
locked-out. In the USA, this is an OSHA requirement.
