Safety Precautions
■ When designing or installing a robot system, wear at least the following
protective gear. Working without protective gear may cause serious
safety problems.
■ This product is intended for transporting and assembling parts in an
isolated safety area. Be sure to install a safeguard by referring the
standards described in "Safety Requirements" in this manual to ensure
safety. Failure to install a safeguard may be extremely hazardous and
may result in serious bodily injury and/or severe equipment damage to
the robot system.
■ The interlock of the Safety Door must be functioning when the robot
system is operated. Do not operate the system under the condition that
the switch cannot be turned ON/OFF. (I.E. the condition where the
switch is disabled) (Example: Tape is put around the switch to hold it
closed.) Operating the robot system when the switch is not functioning
properly is extremely hazardous and may cause serious safety
problems as the Safety Door input cannot fulfill its intended function.
■ Be sure to install an emergency stop device that allows the operator to
stop the system immediately. Failure to install an emergency stop
device may be extremely hazardous may result in serious bodily injury
and/or severe equipment damage to the robot system.
WARNING
■ When connecting an emergency stop or a safety input signal such as a
Safety Door to the EMERGENCY connector, make sure that the
emergency stop of the teach pendant connected to the TP port works.
■ Install the Manipulator at a location with enough space so that a tool or
a work piece on the end effector does not reach a wall or a safeguard
when the Manipulator extends its arm while holding a work piece.
Installing the Manipulator at a location with insufficient space is
extremely hazardous and may result in serious bodily injury and/or
severe equipment damage to the robot system as a tool or a work
piece may collide with a wall and a safeguard.
Set the distance between the safeguard and the tool or workpiece
according to ISO10218-2. For the free running time and free running
distance, refer to the manipulator manual "Appendix B: Time and
Distance of Free Running in Emergency" and "Appendix C: Time and
Distance of Free Running When Safeguard Is Opened".
■ Anchor the Manipulator before turning ON the power to or operating the
Manipulator. Turning ON the power to or operating the Manipulator that
is not anchored is extremely hazardous and may result in serious bodily
injury and/or severe equipment damage to the robot system as the
Manipulator may fall.
