Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 170388433

Event: 10/30/1996

Employee's thumb amputated in discharge point of power press

Employee #1 was operating a 150-ton part-revolution mechanical power press in which 1 3/4 in. wide by 3/4 in. thick metal strips were fed into the die area by a Jaybird air feeder. Parts were stamped from the metal strip and the finished products were then fed out of the die area on the left side of the machine. On the day of the accident, a finished part became jammed at the discharge point. As Employee #1 reached in to free it, the air feeder advanced the metal strip, which amputated the tip of her thumb. The light curtain guarded only the point of operation.
