Pretty amazing video. It's interesting to see how the people disregard safety while the machine is running. They walk so close to the drill. I can see what you meant if there were bugs in the software and the drill arm suddenly swung wildly.
- jacquesm 16y agoThere likely is a strike detector on the gantry and the arm the toolbit is attached to, so it is not quite as unsafe as you might think. I agree with you though that they're not practicing proper safety and I've seen numerous examples of millwrights and machinists missing digits, eyes or worse. A toolbit spinning fast enough will throw swarf around over considerable distances and it doesn't take much to take out an eye. In production use normally there would be an enclosure and mandatory goggles. No 'walking around in the machine'. Even the doors normally have interlocks, if they open it counts as an e-stop (emergency stop).
