Safety
Each
year,
thousands
of
workers
lose
fingers,
hands,
feet
and
other
body
parts
due
to
inadequately
safeguarded
machinery.
It's
important
to
know
the
pros
and
cons
of
different
types
of
safeguarding
devices.
Also
requires
concurrent
use
of
both
hands,
but
an
anti-repeat
feature
is
required.
Safeguarding
Devices
Cords
are
connected
to
the
operator's
wrists
and
linked
mechanically
to
the
machine.
Make
sure
you
adjust
it
properly,
otherwise
the
device
may
be
ineffective.
Operation
is
stopped
when
the
sensing
field
(photoelectric,
radio
frequency
or
electromagnetic)
is
disturbed.
These
devices
must
be
carefully
maintained
and
adjusted,
and
they
do
not
protect
the
operator
in
the
event
of
a
mechanical
failure.

Operation
is
stopped
when
a
pre-determined
weight
is
applied
to
the
mat.
Beware
that
some
chemicals
can
degrade
the
mats.
Concurrent
and
continued
use
of
both
hands
prevents
the
operator
from
entering
the
danger
area.
One
limitation
is
only
the
operator
is
protected.
