Narrative

On July 26, 2025, an employee was assembling a custom-designed automation line. During troubleshooting, he made contact with a photoelectric sensor that was part of the machine s part detection system. This triggered a small pneumatic crimping cylinder, which activated and came down on the tip of his right thumb, resulting in a partial amputation without bone loss.
