Safety Guard for YK509F, YK509FAH & YK50FFP
Unpredictable workpiece movement under heavy loads poses a significant risk in any engineering workshop, particularly when operating machinery capable of 50 tonnes of pressure. The Sealey ASG50 is designed to mitigate this danger by providing a robust, adjustable mesh barrier specifically for the YK509F, YK509FAH, and YK50FFP floor presses. The guard is built around a lightweight aluminium frame which houses a heavy-duty steel mesh, offering high impact resistance while keeping the overall weight manageable for the operator. It features five height adjustment levels, enabling the user to bring the guard down close to the table for maximum containment of small parts or raise it for larger assemblies. The one-way spring-loaded locking clips are a standout functional detail, allowing the guard to be raised and secured in a single motion. This ensures that safety remains a seamless part of the pressing process rather than a cumbersome secondary task. By bolting directly to the press table, the ASG50 provides a stable, permanent safety enclosure that protects both the operator and other personnel in the immediate vicinity.
Features & Benefits
Heavy-duty steel mesh screen: Absorbs the energy of dislodged components, preventing them from being ejected into the workshop at high speed.
Aluminium structural frame: Ensures the guard is corrosion-resistant and light enough for easy manual adjustment throughout a busy shift.
5-stage height adjustment: Enables the operator to maintain a tight safety envelope around workpieces of vastly different heights and shapes.
Auto-locking spring clips: Simplifies the process of securing the guard, ensuring it remains at the selected height even during high-vibration pressing.
Direct table-bolt mounting: Creates a rigid connection to the press, ensuring the guard does not flex or tilt when subjected to impact from debris.
Why Choose This Product?
When working with 50 tonnes of hydraulic force, the margin for error is non-existent. This is the only safety guard specifically tailored to fit the mounting points of Sealey’s heavy-duty 50-tonne presses. It offers the perfect combination of visibility and high-impact protection, ensuring your workshop meets the highest safety standards while keeping the pressing area accessible and easy to manage.
FAQs About Safety Guard for YK509F, YK509FAH & YK50FFP
Q: Is the mesh replaceable if it gets damaged?
A: The mesh is integrated into the aluminium frame for maximum strength. While not designed as a standalone replaceable part, the entire unit is built to withstand significant impacts common in heavy-duty 50-tonne pressing operations.
Q: Does the guard interfere with the table height adjustment on the press?
A: No, the guard bolts to the table itself. As you move the press table up or down to accommodate different jobs, the guard moves with it, maintaining the same relative protection for the operator.
Q: How much does the guard weigh?
A: The unit has a nett weight of approximately 0.73kg for the moving guard section, thanks to its aluminium construction. This makes it extremely easy for a single operator to adjust with one hand.
