Amputations

An employee was troubleshooting why a suction cup plate assembly was binding up. To do this, the employee cycled the machine to see what component on the suction cup assembly was creating the binding. As he grabbed the plate to make a manual movement, the suction cup plate was freed, allowing his left thumb to contact the housing of the plate cylinder. His left thumb tip was smashed between the plate and the cylinder housing. When he pulled his hand back, it removed the very tip of his thumb.
