Do you notice the malfunction? Valves without monitoring devices make it difficult to detect failures. If both valve bodies fail, the press will not stop...
Scene content As usual, the press operation was underway, but one side of the valve was already malfunctioning. The operator continued to operate without noticing the signs of one-sided failure (air leakage from the exhaust port)... When the power to the valve was turned OFF, both valve bodies failed, resulting in none of the valves closing, so the secondary side air could not be exhausted, and the press did not stop. The operator could face a "pinching accident."

basic information
Points of Labor Safety/Machine Safety The "monitor (monitoring device)" detects valve body failures. There are limitations to human checks for air leaks. Most old presses do not have monitors, so extreme caution is required during operation.

Do you notice the malfunction? Valves without monitoring devices make it difficult to detect failures. If both valve bodies fail, the press will not stop, increasing the risk of a "pinch point accident." Scene description: While performing press operations as usual, one side of the valve had already failed internally. The operator continued operations without noticing the signs of one-sided failure (air leakage from the exhaust port)... When the power to the valve was turned OFF, if both valve bodies failed, none of the valves would close, and the secondary side air would not be exhausted, so the press would not stop. The operator could face a "pinch point accident." Key points for labor safety/machine safety: The monitoring device is what detects valve body failures. There are limits to human checks for air leaks. Most older presses do not have monitoring devices, so extreme caution is necessary during operations.
