The safety cable between head 1 and 2 is broken on our Sabre. Seems like the break is just before the magnetic end. Can I safely just cut that off and splice it until a new one arrives, or is there some way to just bypass the safety cables for a few days?

yes.....yes you can...... :-X

Just a 24v dc signal going through there.
Could probably just take the high side to ground on the first or last head and bypass it all.

We ended up removing the broken link and unscrewing enough other cables to basically just connect heads 1 and 2 over the center of the press. Not "safe" but kept the press spinning until the new piece arrives.

With a crew of any experience they know better than to get the middle of the press, even at idle, unless the indexer is disengaged. I wouldn't run it regularly that way, but it's a fine fix until the parts come in.

Sabre's servo is never engaged unless it's turning.

My crew is fine, but we have a lot of other staff who are clueless about production and they will occasionally filter by the press. That's who I worry about, lol.
