Thompson 400 BladeStop Bandsaw guarding system

Wednesday, 14 May, 2014 | Supplied by: Thompson Meat Machinery


The Thompson 400 BladeStop Bandsaw is a guarding system that sheaths the bandsaw blade completely in between cutting processes. It is suitable for both industrial and retail meat applications.

The unit’s BladeStop feature is a sensor worn by the operator around the waist or wrist that senses the operator’s body, shutting the bandsaw down within 15 ms to prevent injury. The BladeGuard is a pneumatic, pedal-operated feature that minimises operator exposure to the blade and deactivates when the pedal is released. It can be set to rise to a specific height, reducing the amount of blade exposed.

The product’s safety features are said to ensure that worker injury is significantly reduced.
