energy isolating device
a mechanical device that physically prevents the
transmission or release of energy, including but not limited
to the following: manually operated electrical circuit breaker;
a disconnect switch; a manually operated switch by which
the conductors of a circuit can be disconnected from all
ungrounded supply conductors, and in addition, no circuit
can be operated independently; a line valve; a block; and
any similar device used to block or isolate energy—push
buttons, selector switches, and other control circuit type
devices are not energy isolating devices
energy source
any source of electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic,
chemical, thermal, or other energy
layout
a scaled diagram of the location of components and the
space that they occupy
leveling screws
large cap head screws that thread into the table legs and
allow the table height to be adjusted and leveled
light bar
the perimeter access guarding device that uses multiple
light beams to detect when something is in the way of the
gantry head and stops the machine to prevent injury or
damage
limit switch
an electro-mechanical device that consists of an actuator
mechanically linked to a set of contacts; when an object
comes into contact with the actuator, the device operates
the contacts to make or break an electrical connection
lockout device
a device that utilizes a positive means such as a lock, either
key or combination type, to hold an energy isolating device
in the safe position and prevent the energizing of a machine
or equipment, including blank flanges and bolted slip blinds;
should be standardized within the facility in at least one of
the following criteria: color; shape; or size; and additionally,
in the case of tagout devices, print and format shall be
standardized
lockout/tagout
a means of isolating a piece of equipment from its energy
source so maintenance can safely occur; guidelines
provided in OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147
lubricator
a device that allows controlled amounts of lubricants into the
pneumatic system
operator control interface
the method in which the operator controls the machine; it
may be a touch screen, a control panel, etc.
plate

connector plate
PLC
(programmable logic controller) a solid-state control device
that can be programmed to control process or machine
operations. It consists of five basic components: processor,
memory, input/output module, the power supply, and the
programming device.
port
a connection point for a peripheral device
