The Junkin Swinging Die Closure 

[[2 images]]


In introducing the Junkin Swinging Die Closure for primary press operations we offer a substantially constructed complete die enclosure fully adaptable to a wide variety of operations of this type. This guard is easily adjusted to afford the operator complete protection and at the same time permit easy and safe accessibility to the dies when necessary. Stationary barriers of many types have been made and used in the past with varying success. Although simple in design and construction these guards do not permit the operator to work in close enough proximity to the die to efficiently locate and move the work he is handling. In many cases it is necessary to remove either a part or the complete barrier in order to oil the dies or remove a cocked piece. Once the barrier is removed there is no protection for the operator and no assurance that the guard will be replaced. Although effective to a degree they do not provide the efficient usability or the maximum protection which is desired.
