Safety Measures
a)
When installing the robot, provide sufficient space to carry out the work safely.
b)
Clarify the hazard zone, and provide safety fences to prevent anyone from
entering the zone easily. The hazard zone is the zone near the working
envelope of the robot, where a hazardous state could occur if a person enters.
c)
Mount the limit switches, photo switches, foot switches, etc., on the entrance/exit
doors of the safety fences and provide an emergency stop function that will stop
the robot if a person enters the hazard zone. The emergency stop function
should be an electrically independent normal close contact (close during normal
operation) with compulsive opening function and should not be recovered
automatically.
