Adept’s corporate web site: http://www.adept.com Related Manuals This manual covers the installation, operation, and maintenance of an Adept Cobra s350 robot system. There are additional manuals that cover programming the system, reconfiguring installed components, and adding other optional components; see Table 1-2.
This indicates a situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor injury or damage to the equipment. NOTE: This provides supplementary information, emphasizes a point or procedure, or gives a tip for easier operation. Adept Cobra s350 User’s Guide, Rev. A...
Chapter 2 - Safety Warning Labels on the Robot Figure 2-1 shows the warning label on the Adept Cobra s350 robots. Figure 2-1. Safety Warning Label on Adept Cobra s350 Precautions and Required Safeguards This manual must be read by all personnel who install, operate, or maintain Adept systems, or who work within or near the workcell.
Adept robots are capable of moving at high speeds. If a person is struck by a robot (impacted) or trapped (pinched), death or serious injury could occur. Robot configuration, joint speed, joint orientation, and attached payload all contribute to the total amount of energy available to cause injury. Adept Cobra s350 User’s Guide, Rev. A...
Risk Assessment Risk Assessment Without special safeguards in its control system, the Adept Cobra s350 robot could inflict serious injury on an operator working within its work envelope. Safety standards in several countries require appropriate safety equipment to be installed as part of the system.
Chapter 2 - Safety Avoidance In spite of its relatively small footprint and reach, the Adept Cobra s350 could inflict injury to personnel in a high-acceleration, high-velocity, or runaway failure condition. The programmer must always carry the pendant when inside the work envelope, as the pendant provides both E-Stop and Enabling switch functions.
(see Section 2.8 on page 25). The Adept Cobra s350 robots are intended for use in parts assembly and material handling for payloads less than 5.5 kg (12.1 lb) and 450 Kg-cm rotary inertia.
• Modifying, including drilling or cutting, any robot casting. • Modifying any robot electrical component or printed-circuit board. • Routing additional hoses, air lines, or wires through the robot. • Modifications that compromise EMC performance, including shielding. Adept Cobra s350 User’s Guide, Rev. A...
In the USA, applicable standards include ANSI/RIA R15.06 and ANSI/UL 1740. In Canada, applicable standards include CAN/CSA Z434. Sound Emissions The sound emission level of the Adept Cobra s350 robot depends on the speed and payload. The maximum value is 90 dB. (This is at maximum -Mode speed.)
• Skilled persons have technical knowledge or sufficient experience to enable them to avoid the dangers, electrical and/or mechanical. • Instructed persons are adequately advised or supervised by skilled persons to enable them to avoid the dangers, electrical and/or mechanical.
