When I bought my last chipper (Vermeer 2000XL w/ bottom safety bar) I was concerned that the lower bar would be activated too often unnecessarily and slow production. I'm suprised how well it works though and it only occassionaly stops the rollers by accident. I think the sensors you thought of are a great idea! (the sensors & the lower bar shouldn't be relied on 100% though!)
