Foot Pedal for Handfed Platen

Ever since health and safety introduced new legislation regarding the safe use of handfed platens. Companies have been fixing laser guard systems to their machinery. After listening to all of our customers bar none who have had this fitted, they tell me that the production has halved. Therefore making it totally unacceptable for them to operate with this system and still make money.

For less than 20% of the cost of a laser guarding system, Diecut Uk can fit a foot pedal which meets the requirements from the health and safety and does not affect production in any way.

Please see our video below demonstrating production speeds after fitting this system.
