Why Standing in a Planer Room is a Bad Idea

Monitoring high speed planers is one of our most popular applications at AVIAN.
Sometimes we see some insane things. Take this case for example - a board was stuck at the infeed. This caused a sudden increase in temperature which triggers an automatic recording of the event and alerted the maintenance team.
Seconds later, another board enters at extremely high speed, crashing into the stuck board and throwing shrapnel everywhere.
I sure as heck wouldn't want to be standing there!
Daily reminder that safety squints don't protect you from everything!
