This document outlines potential risks associated with The Aligner system and provides effective solutions to mitigate these risks. Key concerns include load handling capabilities, uncontrolled motion, improper product alignment, jamming, air pressure loss, pinch points in moving parts, and maintenance challenges. Solutions involve employing safety factors, controlling actuation rates, utilizing actuator control devices, implementing emergency relief systems, and providing protective covers. Additionally, the design ensures serviceability with standard parts for easier maintenance, ensuring the system operates safely and efficiently.

Risks • Risk 1: TheAligner cannot handle the load • Solution: The current actuators operate with a factor of safety of 10. • Risk 2: TheAligner moves packages in such a manner that the motion is uncontrolled • Solution: Control the actuation rate such that is fast/slow enough that a minimal force is applied to the package, but product is aligned at a sufficient rate to have desired flow rate. • Risk 3: Product aligning improperly • Solution: Actuator control devices will minimize the risk of over or under pushing product. • Risk 4: Jamming of product • Solution: An emergency stop will evacuate air from the system, allowing thealignerto beretracted byhand. • Risk 5: Air pressure is lost and aligning process is delayed • Solution: The emergency relief system will allow aligner to return to its retracted position and the product can be aligned with manual assistance. • Risk 6: Pinch points regarding moving parts • Solution: Protective covers in place over all moving components. The emergency relief system will allow aligner to be stopped immediately should a pinch occur. • Risk 7: Aligner system is not serviceable • Solution: Standard parts and components have been specified from preferred suppliers and the assembly has been designed an a manner that allow maintenance easy access to system.
