The Society of the Plastics Industry Inc. and American National Standards Institute have revised two safety standards that covers plastic machinery. The standards cover safety requirements for the integration of robots with injection molding machines and for plastic sheet production machinery. These new safety standards are used to minimize the hazards to people. They eliminate recognized hazards by design criteria, establish standard approaches to design and safeguard the point of operation to protect the operator. They also include updates to reflect changes in technology and provide additional explanatory materials, illustrations and definitions.
