Focus area: Safety and wellbeing
Program stream: Industry excellence
Project number: 2019-1040
Guardian bandsaws have safety systems to detect operators gloved hands. When the systems detect the operators gloved hands the bandsaw stops the blade in a few milliseconds.
This project brought this technology into the larger 900mm bandsaw so that the full range of different sized safety bandsaws would be commercially available to meat processors in Australia.
The trial found that the safety technology of the Guardian bandsaws can be scaled with increasing bandsaw size.
