Safety

Operator protection, engineered into the machine.

NTM machines ship with guard interlocks, a power-interruption safety circuit, and on-controller operator alerts as part of the design. Paired with one-on-one operator training, that is how a crew runs the machine day in and day out.

Built-in safety systems

What is on the machine

The protective equipment that ships as part of an NTM machine. Each is a system on the machine, not an add-on.

  1. 01

    Guard-detect interlock

    Cover & Guard Sensors

    RFID cover sensors detect when guards are in place. With a guard removed, the UNIQ control system enters maintenance mode and the automatic run, shear, and programming functions are disabled.

  2. 02

    Operator alert

    Shear Warning Strobe

    A strobe on the controller signals before the shear actuates, so the operator has a visual cue at the point of operation.

  3. 03

    Power-loss handling

    Power Interruption Safety Circuit

    A dedicated circuit governs how the machine responds to a loss of power, so a power interruption does not leave the drive in an uncontrolled state.

  4. 04

    Feed verification

    Panel & Gutter Recognition

    The control system recognizes the loaded profile before a run, confirming the machine is set up for the material it is about to form.

  5. 05

    Point-of-work visibility

    Interior LED Lighting

    Interior LEDs light the forming area so the operator can see the coil path and rollers during setup and operation.

  6. 06

    Hands-on, no cost

    Operator Training

    Every new machine owner gets one-on-one operator training, where safe operation is covered alongside running the machine and the profiles.
