WEARABLE SAFETY DEVICE AND SYSTEM FOR SAWING, CUTTING AND MILLING MACHINES

摘要

It is described a wearable safety device for covering a body part of an operator of a machine tool, comprising: a support material for covering said body part; one or more magnetic sensors placed along the support material of the wearable safety device; an electronic communication unit comprising a battery; wherein the electronic communication unit is configured to emit a wireless signal which is interrupted if any of the magnetic sensors detects a magnetic field above a predetermined threshold, such that the machine tool is disabled from operating when the wireless signal is not received by the machine tool. It is also disclosed a tool machine comprising one or more magnets arranged in a movable part of the tool machine which has injury risk to the operator, such that a magnetic field above the predetermined detection threshold of the magnetic sensors is provided externally to the movable part, wherein the machine tool is configured to be enabled to operate only when the wireless signal is received.
