Incident on May 26, 2011: Employee amputates finger in molding press

On May 26, 2011, an employee was operating Press M-11, a Stokes T4 partial revol ution molding press. The press was equipped with a shoe to push the small parts down a chute. The employee was also operating three other presses in the area. F ifteen minutes until the end of the shift, at approximately 2:45 p.m., the emplo yee went to Press M-11 and found that the parts were not sliding down the chute and were piling up on the die table, next to the point of operation. The employe e reached under the guard to get the parts. At that time, the employee's right m iddle finger was pressed between the punch and die resulting in an amputation of the tip of her right middle finger, close to the first knuckle. A coworker took the employee to Kane Community Hospital in Kane, PA, where she was treated and released.
