This LIGHT-WEIGHT adjustable series is designed to provide maximum protection for most press brakes and smaller presses where working space is at a premium during set up and maintenance.
These LIGHT-WEIGHT blocks provide convenient use and handling for your employees. The wide span of adjusting screw and nut assemblies have precision-cut Acme threads for extra strength and ease of use with a maximum static load of 35 tons. The 6061-t651 high-strength aluminum body is machined to give you ultimate stiffness with maximum adjustability. These blocks are one-third (1/3) of the weight of standard safety blocks available from others. The adjusting screw and nut assembly is easily moved by hand.
When you make it easy for your employees, they will use it! Safety practices quickly become a habit with the Saf-T-Block LIGHT-WEIGHT Press Blocks.
The LIGHT-WEIGHT Saf-T-Blocks come standard with a base plate. Base plates allow for stability where room permits.
Light-weight adjustable Saf-T-Blocks are available with steel holders and power cut-off systems. View options page for details.
35 ton maximum static load capacity

Please note:
-
Many materials are available for use in blocking the ram and upper die of a press. 6061-T6 aluminum offers much higher extruded strength per cubic inch than any other know press safety block material on the market. When static load cpacity of the material is compared, aluminum becomes the clear choice.
-
Use only certified material, preferably aluminum. Aluminum is malleable, and will deform. Magnesium is supposed to fracture at a 45 degree angle, but can fracture and cause shrapnel. Steel should never be considered due to potential shrapnel issues.
-
.250" of daylight. Under no circumstances should there be more space between the top of the Die Safety Block and the die, or between the top of the Die Safety Block and the slide if the die is absent. It is absolutely critical to accurately calculate the needed Safety Die Block length. An opening greater than .250" changes the force of a moving slide from static to dynamic.
-
If two Die Safety Blocks are needed, they should be placed at diagonal corners.
