Safety Study of OSHA's (Occupational Safety and Health Administration's) Experimental Variance on Self-Tripping of Power Presses: Phase 2 - Volume 1. A Safety Engineering Assessment of the Light Curtain -- Power Press System.

PB87189213

Publication Date	1982
Personal Author	Barash, M.
Page Count	72
Abstract	The report discusses an electro-optical device which permits rapid hand feeding of parts into a press and allows the press control to recognize when a hand is clear of the danger area and automatically strokes. The paper further discusses considerations for assessing the safety of automatically activated, hand fed machines as well as the quality, reliability, and safety of individual system components. The system integration of these components is given major cosideration. The issue of liability is also covered.
