Narrative

At about 4:00 a.m. on June 26, 2020, an employee was setting up a newly installed ultrasonic welder. While he was adjusting the head of the equipment on the mount relative to the welding plate, a gap was created between the head of the equipment and the welding fixture. When the computer recognized that the machine was too far out of adjustment, the welding fixture recoiled back up, closing the gap on the employee's left index finger. The finger was partially amputated.
