Point Of Operation Safeguards, Devices, and Controls
Production Resources handles a complete line of ANSI and OSHA compliant power press clutch/brake controls, light curtains (presence sensing devices), sliding barrier devices, barrier guards, pull outs, restraints, riveter guarding devices, safety mats, safety/die blocks and area/perimeter guarding devices.
Our Application Engineers have working knowledge of the ANSI power press standards (B11.1), hydraulic press standards (B11.2), and press brake standards (B11.3) as well as OSHA regulations 1910.212 and 1910.217. They can help you determine if your machines are in compliance and recommend the safest and most productive guarding solutions.
See our technical resources article on how to determine if your power press is compliant with current standards: Is your mechanical power press OSHA compliant?
PRI distributes major brands such as: Wintriss, Protech, Miller Edge, Positive Safety, and HTM Electronics.

Wintriss OSHA/ANSI compliant power press Clutch / Brake Press Controls
Wintriss WPC2000
The Wintriss 1000 and 2000 Clutch / Brake controls both meet or exceed all ANSI B11.1 and OSHA 1910.217 regulations, including control reliability. Press and floor console models are available with or without motor controls built to your exact specifications. Integral brake monitors to check the stopping performance and a host of other features are available including optional integration with the Wintriss SmartPAC2 press automation control system.
Brake Monitors
Wintriss Brake Monitor
Brake Monitors are essential for accurate monitoring of press stopping performance. PRI is a leading distributor of OSHA/ANSI compliant Wintriss electronic resolver based brake monitors that measure stop time, safety distance, and constantly monitor power press braking performance.
Light Curtains
Wintriss Shadow 8 safety light curtain
The Wintriss Shadow V, VI, and Shadow 8 safety light curtains are presence sensing devices available with scanning heights from 6" to 72" and scanning ranges to 50’. Wintriss has been building the Shadow light curtains for the toughest applications for more than 30 years.
Die Doors
Pax Die Door
Pax die doors are point of operation safeguarding devices for mechanical power presses. They are best suited to coil fed and/or automatic operations and prevent the operator from entering the work area while the press is running as the doors are interlocked with the press stop circuit. Additionally they contain fluids and flying objects.
Pax die doors help you maintain a clean and safe workplace. Models are also available to help you control sound pressure levels.
Safety Mats
ME151 Guardian Mat
Safety mats, also known as safe guarding mats, are presence sensing devices typically used with fabricating machines, supplementary guarding, and for area guarding applications. They provide additional safety for passers-by, helpers, and primary operators.
Perimeter and Area Guarding Devices
HTM Perimeter & Area Guarding Devices
Production Resources carries long-range single or multi-beam perimeter access guarding devices from HTM Electronics.
Press Brake Guarding
Protech Systems integrates Eagle Eye light curtains with control systems designed specifically for use with press brakes. Systems are available to work with friction clutch treadle operated machines, air clutch machines, and hydraulic machines. Programmable beam blank out features allow the light curtain to accommodate bending profiles in sync with CNC back gauges for box, tray, or other complex bending applications.
LazerSafe press brake guarding
LazerSafe press brake guarding is specifically designed for use with fast stopping hydraulic press brakes where its necessary to hold short work pieces close to the tooling.
Overhead restraint hold-out systems are available for press brake specific applications. These devices accommodate single or multiple operators.
Pull Backs – Pull outs – Hold backs – Restraints
Press Brake Holdout System
Pull-backs and restraints press safety systems either prevent an operator from reaching the point of operation or pull the operator away from the point of operation as the ram/slide moves down. Operators wear wristlets attached to straps that are fixed to the restraint or pull out mechanism. Devices must be inspected prior to each operator change, die change, and shift change.
Safety Blocks
Magblox Magnesium Safety Blocks
Safety Blocks are designed to prevent accidental die closure during press setup and maintenance. Constructed from lightweight extruded aluminum or magnesium our safety locks are available in fixed and adjustable styles to handle a variety of static loads.
