Machine Safeguarding Methods - Feeding and Ejection Methods |
|||||||
| Many feeding and ejection methods do not require operators to place their
hands in danger areas. In some cases, operators are not involved after setup. In other
situations, stock is manually fed with the aid of a feeding mechanism. Properly designed
ejection methods do not require operator involvement once the machine begins its
operation. Some feeding and ejection methods could create hazards. For example, use of a robot may eliminate the need for operators to be near the machine, but the robot’s arm movement could be a hazard. Using feeding and ejection methods does not eliminate the need for guards and devices. Guards and devices must be used wherever they are needed to provide protection from exposure to hazards.
