I need help in finding a definition (not an example) of the term
"anti-tiedown"?
I have seen it used in the following:
"Concurrent or synchronous actuation of two-hand control systems is the
most popular approach to anti-tiedown control logic."
and:
"Nolatron's anti-tiedown controls are an integral part of a two-hand
start
system for presses and other machinery. These controls help to comply
with
OSHA by requiring the machine operator to press both start switches
simultaneously
in order to start a machine cycle. This minimizes the possibility of the
operator starting the machine while their hand is in the work area."
Am I correct in understanding that anti-tiedown means an incapability of
being "tied down" or "physically fixed in a particular position ?
Thanks for your help.
Please respond off-list
