  • Page 24: Intended Use

    MiR500 is a partly completed machine as defined in the EU machinery directive and does not have a CE mark. A correctly installed MiR500 is covered by the CE mark of MiRFleet PC. However, a CE marked product does not guarantee a CE marked setup. It is the responsibility of the integrator to safely commission MiR500.

  • Page 25: Foreseeable Misuse

    A safe machine does not guarantee a safe system. Follow the Commissioning guide to ensure safe commissioning. MiR500 is intended to be commissioned indoor in a light industrial environment where public access is restricted. For detailed description of the environment in which the robot should operate, see technical specifications on our website.

  • Page 26: Risk Assessment

    MiR500. The risk assessment must cover not only MiR500 itself, but also take into account potential potential load transfer stations, work cells and the environment it will be used in. See MiR100 and MiR200 Risk Analysis on the distributor page.

    Nevertheless, if a limit is violated, the safety system issues a category 0 stop (stopping by “immediate removal of power to the machine actuators according to IEC 60204-1”) followed by a controlled brake which brings MiR500 to a stop. See Technical specifications on our website for more details.

    3. Safety Safe load position The safe load position safety function ensures that the robot will not drive, while MiR500 Lift or MiR500 EU Pallet Lift is not in the lowest position and hence there is a risk of compromising stability. The safe load position safety system consists of interlock switches that detect if the lift modules are in the lowest position or not.
  • Page 29 External emergency stop button input This input is for connection of an optional emergency stop button. If activated, the safety system issues a category 0 stop followed by a controlled brake which brings MiR500 to a stop. Must be manually deactivated by activation of the restart button.
