Challenge

An operator's clothing became entangled in a large lathe causing serious injury.

Solution

Stronghold first tested several stationary shield options, but these options had a negative impact on productivity because the operators were unable to travel with the piece. Stronghold determined the best solution to reduce risk while maximizing productivity was a Uni-Rail Sliding Lathe Guard.
