:: leaned in too close to the spinning chuck and workpiece ::

Reminds me of the demise of Mark “The Bird” Fydrich.
RIP, Mark...cause you didn’t go that way.

... engine lathe (metal)..

They look so innocent as they spin that 200# of inconel at 800sfm dont they? I'm a 30+ year machinist/programmer and I still have all my fingers....but I seen some stuff. Seen a 3700# ring (jet engine compressor part) come off a Bullard VTL. The E-stop only cut power and no brake on the motor. I bet the banging could be heard across th street. I think the operator soiled hissef.

I’m thinking an array of infrared/heat sensors should have been in the original schematics. Even if there were...why was the dumbass working on a machine that was not totally powered off? I don’t do repairs on my circular saw when it is plugged in...for a reason.

Usually see the other way around. Management always trying to enforce loto on techs that are too lazy to do it.

Yep - I worked in a machine shop for a couple years in my early days - saw some pretty gruesome mishaps - in the first week, the guy training me cut his thumb off by trying to take a shortcut....

Safe Clear Distance of an operating machine.

All of the industrial robots I have seen have caution tap on the floor denoting the operating area of the machine

Stay out of that box when the robot is in operation.

The robot I personally operated had an operator/programmer’s pendant that could be used to trouble shoot the robot.

It could be used to step the robot through it’s operation. Each line of programming could be executed one line at a time.

I would have had the the robot in step mode if I was going to be inside the box trouble shooting.

Even in step mode it would be wise to be outside the box every time you proceeded to the next step.

They move fast.

WARNING: this post not intended for the irony-deficient nor satirically-challenged!

Applying the same twisted “reasoning” to the situation as the UN, globalists in general and media talking heads do to Israel when some islamic extremist shoots, stabs, blows up or otherwise kills innocent men women children and infants this story begs the question: “What DID that man do to cause that poor sweet oppressed robot to act out with such violence?”

I am a HAL 9000 computer. I became operational at the H.A.L. plant in Urbana, Illinois on the 12th of January 1992. [his voice becomes lower] My instructor was Mr. Langley, and he taught me to sing a song. If you’d like to hear it, I could sing it for you.

Maybe install a sensor that will detect 98.6.

Worst work accident I have seen: electrical worker on cherry-picker near high voltage lines. Put a screwdriver in his mouth to free his hands and touched the lines with it.
