Digit is composed of skin-tone polymers with a metal wire skeletal structure within the hand. Digit allows observation of Injury Severity for the purpose of risk assessment. This safety device mimics a human hand for abrasion, pinching, cutting, crushing and amputation hazards. Depending on the test, this hand may be re-used on many assessments in a variety of angles and configurations. Soft structure will not damage most machines. The new and improved comfort grip holder is constructed with strong, lightweight carbon fiber tubes and aluminum hardware, providing a reach of approximately 42 inches.
Safety Note: Digit should not to be used to test hazards that could pull-in the Test Hand device or the user, such as with high speed in-running nip points or entanglement hazards. DISCLAIMER: Although this Test Hand provides a life-like simulation, it is not calibrated to anthropometric data and may not produce results indicative of actual hazards.
