Hello all, I am new to this site and I was wondering if anyone here could help me answer a question. We are trying to reduce cycle time on our bottleneck machine and one idea I had was to eliminate the start switch and have the machine start itself once it saw that it had been fully loaded and the operator was clear of the light switch. I am hesitant to make this change because I am unaware if this violates any safety regulations or industry standards. The machine is small and it is "impossible" to interfere with its process without breaking the light curtain so I don't see any immediate issues. Please feel free to chime in with info/ideas/suggestions!
