1.2.3.3 Safety risks related to tools/work pieces
Safe handling
It must be possible to safely turn off tools, such as milling cutters, etc. Make sure
that guards remain closed until the cutters stop rotating.
It should be possible to release parts by manual operation (valves).
Safe design
Grippers/end effectors must be designed so that they retain work pieces in the
event of a power failure or a disturbance to the controller.
Unauthorized modifications of the originally delivered manipulator are prohibited.
Without the consent of ABB it is forbidden to attach additional parts through welding,
riveting, or drilling of new holes into the castings. The strength could be affected.
