Avoiding Contact with the Spin Disc
Visiport spin window systems are rugged and safe. There have been no reports of accidents involving any spin window system we know in their 10 year history. As with any product, Spin Windows must be properly installed.
While we have no incidents on record where an operator has been injured due to contact with the spin disc, it is possible that some inadvertent contact may occur if the device is allowed to continue running while an operator or repair person enters the machine cabin during maintenance or repair of the machine tool. There are no sharp or protruding features on the spin disc that would injure anyone through contact.
T2K recommends that to avoid any possibility that hair or clothing could become entangled in a rotating spin disc, however, that the Visiport be switched off to avoid any such incidental contact.
