Rule 2404.
(1)
"Device" means a press control or attachment that performs any 1 of the
following functions:
(a) Restrains the
operator from inadvertently reaching into the point of operation.
(b) Prevents normal press operation if the
operator's hands are inadvertently within the point of operation.
(c) Automatically withdraws the operator's
hands if the operator's hands are inadvertently within the point of operation
as the dies close. See
R
408.12406(1) and (5),
R
408.12407(7) and (9),
R
408.12408(10), and
R
408.12409(3).
(2) "Die" means the tooling used in a press
for cutting or forming material. An upper and lower die make a complete
set.
(3) "Die builder" means a
person who builds dies for presses.
(4) "Die enclosure guard" means an enclosure
that is attached to the die shoe or stripper, or both, in a fixed
position.
(5) "Die set" means a
tool holder which is held in alignment by guide posts and bushings and which
consists of a lower shoe, an upper shoe or punch holder, and guide posts and
bushings.
(6) "Die setter" means an
individual who places dies in, or removes dies from, mechanical presses and
who, as a part of assigned duties, makes the necessary adjustments to cause the
tooling to function properly and safely.
(7) "Die setting" means the process of
placing dies in, or removing dies from, a mechanical press, and the process of
adjusting the dies, other tooling, and safeguarding means to cause them to
function properly and safely.
(8)
"Die shoe" means a plate or block upon which a die holder is mounted. A die
shoe functions primarily as a base for the complete die assembly and, when
used, is bolted or clamped to the bolster plate or the face of the
slide.
(9) "Direct drive" means the
type of driving arrangement where a clutch is not used and where coupling and
decoupling of the driving torque is accomplished by energization and
de-energization of a motor. Even though not employing a clutch, direct drives
match the operational characteristics of part revolution clutches because the
driving power may be disengaged during the stroke of the press.
