Investigation Summary
At 9:30 a.m. on May 14, 2019, an employee was operating an Acme DVK machine when he reached into the machine between cycles to place and retrieve product. There were small screws on the round device that were used to adjust the part size and depth. The employee had his thumb resting on a flat metal piece when the machine cycled and his thumb got caught between a screw and the resting part. The employee was hospitalized and suffered an amputation to his thumb tip.
