Installation And Commissioning - ABB IRC5 Safety Manual

5 Installation and commissioning

National or regional regulations
The integrator of the robot system is responsible for the safety of the robot system.
The integrator is responsible that the robot system is designed and installed in
accordance with the safety requirements set forth in the applicable national and
regional standards and regulations.
The integrator of the robot system is required to perform an assessment of the
hazards and risks.
Layout
The robot integrated to a robot system shall be designed to allow safe access to
all areas during installation, operation, maintenance, and repair.
If robot movement can be initiated from an external control panel then an emergency
stop must also be available.
If the manipulator is delivered with mechanical stops, these can be used for reducing
the working area.
A perimeter safeguarding, for example a fence, shall be dimensioned to withstand
the following:
The maximum TCP speed and the maximum velocity of the robot axes are detailed
in the section Robot motion in the product specification for the respective
manipulator.
Consider exposure to hazards, such as slipping, tripping, and falling.
Consider hazards from other equipment in the robot system, for example, that
guards remain active until identified hazards are reduced to an acceptable level.
Allergenic material
See the respective product manual for specification of allergenic materials in the
product, if any.
Securing the robot to the foundation
The robot must be properly fixed to its foundation/support, as described in the
product manual.
When the robot is installed at a height, hanging, or other than mounted directly on
the floor, there will be additional hazards.
Electrical safety
The mains power must be installed to fulfill national regulations.
