ABSTRACT
Currently, technology and safety mechanisms have improved significantly, becoming more compact, energy-efficient, and advanced. In order to keep up with these advancements, it's essential to implement modifications that enhance safety measures in manual crimping machines. These modifications are necessary to prevent accidents, reduce material wastage, and save costs that may be incurred due to damages resulting from the absence of safety features.

One of the key safety features that can be added is a micro switch that functions by changing the position of contacts when it comes in contact with an object. This switch is designed with a tipping-point mechanism that helps to create specific trip and reset points every time the contacts change their condition. By installing such a safety feature, the likelihood of accidents can be minimized, and the machine's overall efficiency can be enhanced.
