Ideally, you want to be sure that your machinery is highly productive while also maintaining safety measures. The equipment you use to fabricate spiral duct should be built to industry standards with a high regard for safety in mind. One of the best ways to ensure that your machine meets safety standards is to purchase from a reputable brand with a long history of experience and innovation in engineering. However, the safest machines also have a few features in common. In this post, we'll explain what features to look for in a piece of equipment to ensure spiral duct fabrication machine safety in your shop.
Features of the Safest Spiral Duct Machinery
- Automation: When processes like feeding, punching, cut offs, etc. are automated instead of manual, your techs only need to be in limited contact with the machine itself as well as the raw and finished material, which can often have sharp edges. Newer machinery also generally has remote controls and diagnostics that further cut down on manual contact. The more automation in your process, the fewer safety risks are posed by your machinery and the product it creates.
- Easy to maintain: The more well-maintained your machinery is, the safer it is for your technicians to operate. When looking to buy, you want up-to-date machines that are easy to maintain so that they are easy for your technicians to keep and use in working order. A machine that’s in proper working order is less likely to malfunction, decreasing the chance for safety issues or defects to product that can also be harmful to techs or the end user/installer You also need to be able to get replacement parts and service/maintain regularly. Additionally, machines with diagnostic capabilities will also make it easier for your techs to troubleshoot on the spot.
