Hazards From Expelling a Part or Attached Tooling
The maximum joint tip speeds that can be achieved by the robot are listed in
page
83. Any tooling, fixtures, end-effectors, etc., mounted to the user flange, or one of the
other axes of the robot must be attached by sufficient means to resist being expelled from
the robot. Additionally, any payload must be held by the end-effector in a manner that
prevents the payload from being expelled accidentally.
The safety fence or barrier constructed around the robot must be designed to withstand
the impact of any item expelled accidentally from the robot. Projectile energy can be
calculated using the formula E = mv
NOTE: In the Projectile energy formula above:
•E = Energy
•M = Mass
•V = Velocity
