The batch process occurring at the winder represents one of highest potential areas of danger in the mill for operators and maintenance personnel. Speeds and technology continue to increase. Regulations are changing (e.g. EN ISO 13849 machinery standards). How safe is safe enough? Will a safety upgrade reduce overall throughput? Will automating some winder functions both improve safety and productivity? How much downtime will be required? 

These and more questions will be answered in this upcoming webinar - Improving Winder Safety, scheduled for Wednesday, August 3 from 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. (EST). Included in the discussion will be guards, fencing, E-stops, electrical and fluid control improvements, mechanical holding devices, threading and splicing modifications, and automation.

Presenters of this webinar will include two leaders in the fields of product safety improvement--Tom Wochenske and Leland Salvo. You can read more about their professional backgrounds online.
