Safety Precautions
Provide appropriately-sized Branch Circuit Protection and Lockout / Tagout Capability in
accordance with the National Electrical Code and any local codes.
Always use proper lifting technique when lifting the robot. Failure to comply could result
in the robot falling and causing either personnel injury or equipment damage.
If you supply your own Front Panel, its design must comply with the requirements of IEC
60204-1 and ISO 13849. The E-Stop's push button must comply with ISO 13850 (Clause
5.5.2).
Disabling the High Power button violates IEC 60204-1. Do not alter its functionality.
If a robot is mounted to a surface with inadequate stiffness, damage to the z-axis quill or
other mechanical components can result from excessive oscillation during operation.
The robot's center of mass can cause the robot to fall over if the robot is not properly
secured with the mounting bolts.
The robot must be installed to avoid interference with buildings, structures, utilities, other
machines and equipment that may create trapping or pinch points. It must be installed in
accordance with Standard for Robots and Robotic Devices – Safety Requirements for In-
dustrial Robots – Part 2: Robot Systems and Integration, ISO 10218-2.
Ensure that interconnecting cables or pneumatic lines are routed away from the robot
workspace.
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, install the robot in a controlled environment
relatively free of contaminants.
Operation
Before starting the operation of equipment, always confirm that the safety equipment of
the robot works properly. If a malfunction of the safety equipment is detected, follow the
troubleshooting procedure.
Use the total weight of the end-of-arm tooling and the payload to stay within the payload
rating of the robot. Ensure that the system never exceeds that maximum payload.
Perform a full risk assessment which includes the end-of-arm tooling and any payload to
prevent crushing, shearing, payload ejection, entanglement, stabbing or puncture haz-
ard.
Releasing a brake may cause the quill, tool flange, end-of-arm tooling, and payload to
drop. To prevent possible injury to personnel or damage to the equipment, make sure
that the equipment is supported when releasing the brake and verify that the end-of-arm
tooling and payload are clear of all obstructions.
All signals that pass-through the USER connectors are not associated with any robot
controls, emergency stop circuits, or robot power. Implement appropriate safety meas-
ures to ensure that these signals are not active during emergency stop conditions or
while the robot is powered OFF.
