Pinch points in a manufacturing process are those tricky spots where the moving part of a tooling asset comes in contact with an operator’s fingers, gloves or even hair. These can become entangled in the moving part causing an injury.

Pinch point protection ensures a smooth and safe process.

Benefit 1: Safety First, Always

Pinch point protection is your pass to a safer workplace.

Fewer accidents mean fewer disruptions, keeping your team healthy and your production line running like a well-oiled machine.

Benefit 2: Maximising Productivity 

By minimising the risk of accidents, you are planning for  less unplanned downtime and more uptime equals more output. 

Benefit 3: Long-Term Cost Savings

Investing in pinch point protection is like planting a money tree. Sure, there’s an initial cost, but the long-term savings are worth it.

Fewer accidents mean lower insurance premiums, reduced worker compensation claims, and a healthier bottom line.

Torque reaction isn’t just a physics concept; it’s a critical factor in the safety and precision of your manufacturing process.

Safety First, Always

First and foremost, uncontrolled torque reaction is a safety hazard for operators. Even a small reaction repeated multiple times throughout the day can lead to injury or illness putting your company’s reputation and productivity at risk. 

Every company will set their own limits for torque reaction but as a guide we recommend that anything over 7Nm needs some form of torque reaction device fitted but this can depend on the type of fastening and also the quantity completed in a set timeframe. 

Precision Matters

Uncontrolled torque reaction can lead to inaccurate and inconsistent tightenings that affecting the quality of your end product. Operators may under torque to avoid the reaction or when experiencing torque reaction go over torque.
