Final narrative
An employee was replacing a gear on a strapping machine conveyor. Bundles (of aluminum) continued to be put on the strapping conveyor while the employee was installing the gear. When a bundle hit the photo eye, the conveyor belt engaged and amputated the employee's right index finger below the second knuckle. The machine was not locked/tagged out at the time.
