Which type of presses necessitates the use of brake monitors and control systems?

Part-revolution presses are designed to complete a portion of their cycle with each stroke, allowing operators to control the movement more precisely for tasks such as feeding material or positioning. Because these presses can operate intermittently and may not stop immediately when the control is engaged, they require brake monitors and control systems to enhance safety. These systems monitor the position and speed of the press, ensuring that it stops quickly and reliably when needed, reducing the risk of accidents or injuries during operation.

In contrast, full-revolution presses complete a full cycle with each stroke and are typically less complex in terms of control systems. Similarly, 2-hand control presses allow operators to initiate cycles only when both hands are on the control devices, reducing the risk of body parts being in danger during operation. Hands-in presses, by their design, are intended to keep hands out of the danger zone when operating, further decreasing the need for extensive monitoring systems. Therefore, part-revolution presses stand out as needing advanced brake and control systems to ensure safe operation.
