Installing A Safety Enclosure - Omron XG Series Installation Manual

WARNING
• DURING STARTUP OR MAINTENANCE TASKS, DISPLAY A SIGN "WORK IN PROGRESS" ON THE PROGRAMMING
BOX AND OPERATION PANEL IN ORDER TO PREVENT ANYONE OTHER THAN THE PERSON FOR THAT TASK FROM
MISTAKENLY OPERATING THE START OR SELECTOR SWITCH. IF NEEDED, TAKE OTHER MEASURES SUCH AS
LOCKING THE COVER ON THE OPERATION PANEL.
• ALWAYS CONNECT THE ROBOT AND ROBOT CONTROLLER IN THE CORRECT COMBINATION. USING THEM IN AN
INCORRECT COMBINATION MAY CAUSE FIRE OR BREAKDOWN.
4. Install system
When configuring an automated system using a robot, hazardous situations are more likely to occur from the automated system
than the robot itself. So the system manufacturer should install the necessary safety measures required for the individual system.
The system manufacturer should provide a proper manual for safe, correct operation and servicing of the system.
WARNING
TO CHECK THE ROBOT CONTROLLER OPERATING STATUS, REFER TO THIS MANUAL AND TO RELATED MANUALS.
DESIGN AND INSTALL THE SYSTEM INCLUDING THE ROBOT CONTROLLER SO THAT IT WILL ALWAYS WORK
SAFELY.
5. Precautions for operation
WARNING
• DO NOT TOUCH ANY ELECTRICAL TERMINAL. DIRECTLY TOUCHING THESE TERMINALS MAY CAUSE
ELECTRICAL SHOCK, EQUIPMENT DAMAGE, AND MALFUNCTION.
• DO NOT TOUCH OR OPERATE THE ROBOT CONTROLLER OR PROGRAMMING BOX WITH WET HANDS. TOUCHING
OR OPERATING THEM WITH WET HANDS MAY RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR BREAKDOWN.
6. Do not disassemble and modify
WARNING
NEVER DISASSEMBLE AND MODIFY ANY PART IN THE ROBOT, CONTROLLER, AND PROGRAMMING BOX. DO NOT
OPEN ANY COVER. DOING SO MAY CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHOCK, BREAKDOWN, MALFUNCTION, INJURY, OR FIRE.
4.4.2

Installing a safety enclosure

Be sure to install a safety enclosure to keep anyone from entering within the movement range of the robot. The safety
enclosure will prevent the operator and other persons from coming in contact with moving parts of the robot and
suffering injury.
See "7.1 Movement range" in "Safety instructions" for details on the robot's movement range.
DANGER
SERIOUS INJURY MAY RESULT FROM CONTACT WITH A MOVING ROBOT.
• KEEP OUTSIDE OF THE ROBOT SAFETY ENCLOSURE DURING OPERATION.
• PRESS THE EMERGENCY STOP BUTTON BEFORE ENTERING THE SAFETY ENCLOSURE.
WARNING
• INSTALL AN INTERLOCK THAT TRIGGERS EMERGENCY STOP WHEN THE DOOR OR GATE OF THE SAFETY
ENCLOSURE IS OPENED.
• THE SAFETY ENCLOSURE SHOULD BE DESIGNED SO THAT NO ONE CAN ENTER INSIDE EXCEPT FROM THE DOOR
OR GATE EQUIPPED WITH AN INTERLOCK DEVICE.
• WARNING LABEL 1 (SEE "3. WARNING LABELS" IN "SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS") THAT COMES SUPPLIED WITH A
ROBOT SHOULD BE AFFIXED TO AN EASY-TO-SEE LOCATION ON THE DOOR OR GATE OF THE SAFETY
ENCLOSURE.
