The clamp on a molding machine develops enough force to be immediately fatal. Gate interlocks and light curtains are the controls that stand between a technician's hands and that force — and they are the first thing defeated when a tool needs frequent intervention.
The steps ChatterFix schedules for this PM. Every step is a checkable item on the work order — a technician can speak their way through it without touching a keyboard.
The clamp on a molding machine develops enough force to be immediately fatal. Gate interlocks and light curtains are the controls that stand between a technician's hands and that force — and they are the first thing defeated when a tool needs frequent intervention.
Bypassed interlocks that become normal practice, and a crush injury during routine work that everyone had done safely a hundred times before.
Monthly functional testing of every interlock and curtain, and immediately after any guard or control modification. Taped or bypassed interlocks are a stop-work finding.
