1.2.4.1 Safety risks during installation and service work on manipulators
• Make sure that no one else can turn on the power to the controller and robot
while you are working with the system. A good method is to always lock the
main switch on the controller cabinet with a safety lock.
• Safety zones, which must be crossed before admittance, must be set up in
front of the robot's working space. Light beams or sensitive mats are suitable
devices.
• Turntables or the like should be used to keep the operator out of the robot's
working space.
• If the robot is installed at a height, hanging, or other than standing directly
on the floor, there may be additional risks than those for a robot standing
directly on the floor.
• The axes are affected by the force of gravity when the brakes are released.
In addition to the risk of being hit by moving robot parts, there is a risk of
being crushed by the parallel arm (if there is one).
• Energy stored in the robot for the purpose of counterbalancing certain axes
may be released if the robot, or parts thereof, are dismantled.
• When dismantling/assembling mechanical units, watch out for falling objects.
• Be aware of stored heat energy in the controller.
• Never use the robot as a ladder, which means, do not climb on the motors
or other parts during service work. There is a serious risk of slipping because
of the high temperature of the motors and oil spills that can occur on the
robot. There is also a risk of the robot being damaged.
• The supplier of the complete system must ensure that all circuits used in the
safety function are interlocked in accordance with the applicable standards
for that function.
• The supplier of the complete system must ensure that all circuits used in the
emergency stop function are interlocked in a safe manner, in accordance
with the applicable standards for the emergency stop function.
