The "Komori Safety News Special Edition" introduces newly revised safety and health regulations and safety devices that comply with structural standards. It presents the points that safety personnel in companies should pay attention to, along with the amendments such as the expansion of the regulations to include general machinery from just machine tools, in a newspaper format. It features safety devices already adopted in over 1,000 press brakes, including the "DSP-J safety device for press brakes" and the "Admiral AX human detection device" that detects intrusions into hazardous areas, as well as the "SLC series" light-type safety devices with blanking functions. [Contents] ■ Prevention of hazards at the stroke ends of machines ■ Safety measures for automatic presses ■ Addition of new safety devices (structural standards) ■ Amendments to press-related laws! A thorough analysis of new ministerial ordinances ■ Safety device structural standards for press machines or shears, etc. For more details, please refer to the catalog or feel free to contact us.

The "Komori Safety Report No. 1" includes case studies of accidents that occurred during the stamping process in the metal product manufacturing industry, along with safety measures. [Case Study] ■Industry: Metal Product Manufacturing ■Product: Solar Water Heater 15000kN Press Stamping ■Product Size: 1000mm × 2000mm × 0.3t (Stainless Steel) ■Accident Situation: Injured by being caught in the mold As part of our safety initiatives, we have shifted from relying on human safety to implementing safety measures through machinery, and we have installed a safety device known as PLS. We continuously monitor for people or abnormalities within the mold. We support the establishment of a risk management system as our unique safety management method. *For more details, please refer to the catalog or feel free to contact us.

The "Komori Safety Report No. 2" includes case studies of disasters that occurred during basil processing in the metal products manufacturing industry, along with safety measures. [Published Cases] ■ Industry: Metal Products Manufacturing ■ Product: Cooking Utensils 15,000 kN Press - Basil Processing (Processing that inflates pot lids) ■ Product Size: Cooking Pots ■ Incident Description: During basil processing, a die broke, and a part of the damaged die struck the worker's chest, resulting in injury. As part of our safety initiatives, we are considering implementing safety measures on our machines and have installed our load cells to monitor constant load and high quality. We continuously monitor the upper and lower limits of processed loads and any abnormalities within the mold to achieve high safety, quality, and production. *For more details, please refer to the catalog or feel free to contact us.

We support safety management from precision inspection, safety education, to safety guidance. We promote a comprehensive safety system utilizing our experience in manufacturing presses, technology born from safety device manufacturers, and a track record of up to 10,000 units annually, conducting inspections that include safety devices (safety devices from other manufacturers). According to the Labor Safety and Health Act, specific voluntary inspections are required at least once a year. 【Press machines that must undergo specific voluntary inspections】 Crank presses, crankless presses, knuckle presses, link presses, cam presses, screw presses, friction presses, tuck presses, die-presses, hettadrawing presses, air presses, hydraulic presses, water pressure presses, pneumatic presses, brake presses, turret punch presses, trimming presses, shaving presses, transfer presses, notching presses, and other press machines requiring inspection. *For details, please request materials or view the PDF data from the download.

To ensure the safety of machinery and equipment, the first step is to minimize the sources of danger present in the machinery. Safety measures are considered through the examination of interlocks, safety covers, safety devices, and changes to work processes. Based on the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's guidelines "Comprehensive Safety Guidelines," which develop the concept of machine safety from the perspective of machine safety, a risk assessment for usage is conducted, and safety measures are implemented in the order of "safety through protection (safety devices)" and "usage information." 【Safety Consulting Services】 ■ On-site work verification and identification of hazards ■ Advice on safety measures and areas for improvement ■ Conducting training sessions within the workplace *For details, please request materials or view the PDF data available for download.

We will visit your workplace and conduct various training courses on machine safety. These are not general training courses; instead, we offer customized training sessions that involve conducting risk assessments, identifying and specifying hazards, and considering essential safety measures for machines and equipment from a machine safety perspective, all at your workplace. ● Since press processing businesses are legally required to conduct training and retain records for three years, we will issue certificates. ⁂ Special training is mandated by law. Violations may result in penalties such as imprisonment or fines. ● Companies that have participated in our courses to date include: - Major electronics manufacturers - Chemical manufacturers - Building materials manufacturers - Optical equipment manufacturers - Metal processing and manufacturing industries Over 100 companies and factories have implemented our training. ● Risk Assessment We also provide safety consulting that includes conducting specific risk assessments, such as identifying and specifying hazards, by visiting your workplace. Please feel free to contact us.
