Reading and Training for Users and Operators

Adept systems can include computer-controlled mechanisms that are capable of
moving at high speeds and exerting considerable force. Like all robot and motion
systems, and most industrial equipment, they must be treated with respect by the
user and the operator.
This manual should be read by all personnel who operate or maintain Adept
systems, or who work within or near the workcell.
We recommend you read the American National Standard for Industrial Robot
Systems - Safety Requirements, published by the Robotic Industries Association
(RIA) in conjunction with the American National Standards Institute. The
publication, ANSI/RIA R15.06, contains guidelines for robot system installation,
safeguarding, maintenance, testing, startup, and operator training.
We also recommend you read the International Standard IEC 204 or the European
Standard EN 60204, Safety of Machinery – Electrical Equipment of Machines, and ISO
10218 (EN 775), Manipulating Industrial Robots – Safety, particularly if the country
of use requires a CE-certified installation. (See
for ordering information for national and international standards.)
This manual assumes that the user has attended an Adept training course and has
a basic working knowledge of the system. The user should provide the necessary
additional training for all personnel who will be working with the system.
There are several warnings in this manual that say only skilled or instructed
persons should attempt certain procedures. The qualifications follow.
• Skilled persons have technical knowledge or sufficient experience to enable
them to avoid the dangers which electricity may create (engineers and
technicians).
• Instructed persons are adequately advised or supervised by skilled persons
to enable them to avoid the dangers which electricity may create (operating
and maintenance staff).
