Laser Scanner – The Ideal Worktop Manufacturing Safety Solution

The manufacturing and assembly of commercial and industrial Kitchen Worktop and Splashback solutions can be challenging. Handling and cutting large and very heavy lengths of MDF (medium-density fibreboard) and then applying a hard-wearing protective laminate sheeting to the customer’s specification calls for some heavy-duty specialist equipment that can be very dangerous to be around without adequate protective measures.

A local manufacturer of Worktops and Splashbacks was faced with such an issue, some of their new machinery featured large, sharp and very fast-moving exposed saw blades for cutting MDF and also glueing laminate sheeting to the fibreboard. Seeking a safety solution they could depend on to protect their members of staff they contacted Kempston Controls for help.

Keeping it Safe

A member of our Sales Account Management team visited them to discuss possible machine safety options for their installation. Different safety solutions such as light curtains and safety scanners were discussed but the customer was very interested in having an on-site demonstration of a Laser Safety Scanner which was recommended to the account manager by the well-known sensor company called SICK.

An on-site visit was organised at the customer’s facility along with a Safety Engineer from SICK who was brought along to demonstrate the advantages of the SICK  Laser Safety Scanner MicroScan3 (part number: MICS3-AAAz40AZ1P01).
