mod 1.0 Flashcards
safeguarding any machine part that may cause injury
machine safety
machine accidents is cause by? (4)
-unwated contact with the machine
-something flying with the machine
-machine malfunction
-workpiece movement
effects of machine related accidents (4)
-can result to severe injuries
-loss of trained employees
-loss in productivity
-damage equipment
where mechanical hazards occur? (3)
-point of operation
-other moving parts
-power transmission
that point where work is performed on the material, such as cutting, shaping, boring, or forming.
point of operation
all components of the mechanical system that transmit energy to the part of the machine performing the work.
power transmission apparatus
these components include flywheels, pulleys, belts, connecting rods, couplings, cams, spindles, chains, cranks, and gears.
power transmission apparatus
turning around on an axis or center
rotating
the back and forth movements of a machine part
reciprocating
continuous straight line motion of a machine element in either direction
traversing
in-running nip ponts draw objects in and the effect is —————?
crushing or shearing injury
between rotating part and tangentially moving part
pinch points
cutting hazards from rotating parts (3)
-caught by
-flying particles
-sparks
during the back-and-forth or up-and-down motion, a worker can be struck by a moving part of caught between a moving and a stationary part. these are normally referred to as ——————————–?
pinch points or caught-between hazards
this motion is hazardous due to continuous straight line action and in-running nip points.
traversing motion
methods o machine safeguarding (guards) -3
-fixed
-interlocked
-adjustable
