Step 1: Teardown, Cleaning, & Purging

Machine Powered Off & Lockout/Tagout (LOTO):
I confirm that the machine has been shut down, all applicable energy sources have been isolated, and lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures have been completed and verified before any work begins on hazardous equipment.
Acceptance required
Material Hopper Purged
I confirm that all remaining raw materials, ingredients, and residues from the previous production run have been completely removed from the material hopper and associated feed paths.
Acceptance required
Tool / Die Removal
I confirm that the tools, dies, molds, blades, and other applicable components from the previous production run have been safely removed, inspected, and placed in their designated storage locations.
Acceptance required
Deep Cleaning Verified
I confirm that the machine’s internal chambers, contact surfaces, and applicable components have been thoroughly cleaned and inspected to remove residual materials and minimize the risk of cross-batch contamination.
Acceptance required

Step 2: New Tool Installation & Calibration

New Tool / Die Set Installed
I confirm that the correct tool, die, or mold for the new product has been installed, securely fastened, and checked for proper fit and safe operation.
Acceptance required
Speed & Torque Settings Adjusted
I confirm that the machine speed, torque, and applicable operating parameters have been adjusted and verified against the approved specifications for the new product SKU.
Acceptance required
Temperature / Pressure Calibrated
I confirm that all applicable heating zones, temperature controls, pneumatic systems, and pressure settings have been adjusted and verified against the required specifications for the new production run.
Acceptance required
Sensors & Guides Aligned
I confirm that all applicable sensors, alignment systems, guides, and side rails have been correctly positioned and adjusted to match the dimensions and specifications of the new product.
Acceptance required

Step 3: Safety & Guarding Re-Verification

Safety Guards & Doors Reinstalled
I accept the legal profiles.
Acceptance required
Safety Guards & Doors Reinstalled
I confirm that all required safety guards, protective enclosures, and machine doors have been reinstalled, securely fastened, and verified to be in their proper positions before the machine is operated.
Acceptance required
E-Stop (Emergency Stop) Functional Check
I confirm that the emergency stop system has been tested in accordance with the approved safety procedure and that it responds correctly by bringing the machine to its intended safe state.
Acceptance required
Interlocks Operational
I confirm that all applicable safety interlocks have been tested and verified to function correctly, preventing or stopping hazardous machine operation when a protected door or guard is opened or disengaged, as designed.
Acceptance required

Step 4: First-Run Trial & Visual Sign-Off

Scrap Test Run Completed
I confirm that an initial test run has been completed using the required trial units, and the resulting samples have been inspected for proper operation, product dimensions, and compliance with the specified quality requirements before full production begins.
Acceptance required
