    摘要: Improved methods to detect when a human body contacts a predetermined portion of a machine are disclosed. The methods distinguish contact with a person from contact with other materials. The methods are particularly applicable in woodworking equipment such as table saws to distinguish contact between a person and the blade of the saw from contact between the blade and wet or green wood.

    摘要: Cutting machines with high-speed safety systems, and actuators used in high-speed safety systems, are disclosed. The cutting machines may include a detection system adapted to detect a dangerous condition between a cutting tool and a person. A reaction system performs a specified action, such as stopping the cutting tool, upon detection of the dangerous condition. An actuator may be used to trigger the reaction system to perform the specified action.

    摘要: Table saw blade guards with lateral guards, blade guard assemblies, and table saws including the same. The blade guards include at least one lateral guard that restricts access to a lateral side, or face, of the saw's blade, and may include a top guard. The lateral guard is selectively moved, such as responsive to engagement by a workpiece, between a non-cutting position and a plurality of cutting positions. In some embodiments, the lateral guard is a collapsing lateral guard that has a reduced perimetrical area and/or reduced vertical dimension relative to the saw's work surface when in a cutting position compared to the non-cutting position. In some embodiments, the lateral guard collapses toward the top guard when moved from its non-cutting position to a cutting position. In some embodiments, the lateral guard does not, or does not appreciably, project above the top guard even when in its maximum cutting position.
