Risk of injury due to improper selection of the spring
Improper selection of the spring may cause minor personal injuries and
damage to property.
f Select the spring according to the type of application.
f Use only the spring assemblies included in the scope of delivery.
The latter do in each case contain the corresponding holders.
f Check the biomechanical loads with the installed spring and replace
it by a weaker one if the admissible values are exceeded.
f Repeat the measurement of the biomechanical loads if a spring was
replaced.
f Minimize the residual risk by shearing and crushing in the area of
the adapted end effector and the workpiece, if applicable, and
movements in the area of eyes and larynx in accordance with 15066.
"Contact-related exposure to sensitive parts of the body, including
skull, front, head, eyes, ears or face, must be avoided if reasonably
feasible.
Inform the responsible personnel about existing residual risks.
Observe also the specifications in the assembly instructions of the
corresponding APAS assistant.
