Further development of Glove Stop technology
28 February 2023
Focus area: Hands-off processing
Program stream: Advanced manufacturing
Project number: 2021-1071
As part of the project, the Glove Stop technology was trialed on hydraulic cutters as they don’t currently have an emergency stop feature.
Whilst some of the concepts tested worked in a workshop environment, they did not work well in the processing environment.
The decision was made to abandon the equipment concept and to concentrate further efforts on removing personnel from this manual task.
