Accident Investigation Summary | ||||||
| Summary Nr: 978254 | Event: 08/15/1994 | Employee #1'S Fingers Amputated In Power Press | ||||
| Employee #1 was operating a 105 ton Verson press when the press "locked up." A coworker had the key for the control package and put the press into the "inch" mode. Employee #1 used the dual palm buttons to inch the ram back to the start position. As he told the coworker to reset the control to "single stroke," he reached to place a work piece into the die. As the key was turned, the ram cycled and amputated three of Employee #1's fingers. Because the "inch" mode movement apparently never ran completely to the top, the protection package sensed that it should "run" or cycle. | ||||||
