Mechanical equipment can cause various injuries such as collisions, pincers, cuts, and entanglements. The main hazardous areas are as follows:
⑴ The meshing point between rotating parts and tangential moving parts, such as power transmission belts and pulleys, chains and sprockets, racks and gears, etc.
⑵ Rotating shafts, including connectors, spindles, chucks, lead screws, and rods.
⑶ Rotating protrusions and holes. Rotating components with protrusions or cavities are very dangerous, such as fan blades, camshafts, flywheels, etc.
⑷ The meshing point of rotating components in opposite directions, such as gears, mixing rollers, etc.
⑸ The interlocking parts of rotating and fixed components, such as spoke handwheels or flywheels, machine bed frames, rotating mixers, and unprotected open shell mixing devices.
⑹. Approaching types, such as the hammer body of a forging hammer, the slider of a power press, etc.
⑺ By type, such as the worktable and bed of a metal planer, the blade of a shearing machine, etc.
⑻ Unidirectional sliding components, such as teeth on the edge of a band saw, abrasive particles on a sanding machine, convex motion belts, etc.
(9) Between rotating components and sliding, such as mechanisms on certain flat printing machines, textile machines, etc.
