Good for you, led! Automated machinery that can select different tools to perform different tasks or several steps in a process have a maintenance mode that allows you to access the collet or work head to install calibration and alignment tools. Unfortunately, when you don't have a culture of safety and a strong safety team, many techs will take short cuts. Afterall, it takes time and effort to tagout, walk back to the equipment, install the test device, walk to the tag, untag, walk back to the equipment, etc.

A very unfortunate accident where I hope the individual recovers, but totally avoidable.
