  • CUTTING TOOL WITH AUTO-STOP
    Publication number: 20180099369
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and method for automatically stopping powered machinery, which employs a number of vision sensors. In one embodiment, the system includes vision sensors arranged such that they image different zones defined relative to the cutting tool. The images captured by the vision sensors are processed by the system in real time. If the user's body (e.g., hands) is deemed to be in an unsafe area relative to the cutting tool, the system is configured to automatically stop the cutting tool.
