Zusammenfassung:Simplified view of machine movement There were existing protection systems in place to prevent user harm and it consisted of photoelectric reflective sensors, extensive operator training, multiple users on the machine at a time, and emergency buttons that were capable of a category 0 stop (immediate removal of energy). The diverse team of experts used to determine the scope consisted of a lead electrical engineer, lead production manager, manufacturing manager, machine operator, and design engineer (original designer). [...]the risk reduction methods were reassessed and the residual risks were determined after the correction measures were put in place (Fig. 5).
