Investigation Summary
On March 28, 2018, an employee was demonstrating to a coworker that a part from the Zenn-80 spinning lathe was scratching parts that were produced that day. The machine was set in manual mode and the employee placed his right arm on the control panel of the CNC lathe, activated the button of the tailstock spindle, and crushed his left thumb against the headstock before partially amputating his finger. The employee was hospitalized.
