Safety Requirements for Additional Equipment
Additional equipment used with the Adept Cobra i-series robot (grippers, conveyor belts,
etc.) must not reduce the workcell safeguards.
All emergency-stop switches must always be accessible.
If the robot is to be used in an EU or EEA member country, all components in the robot
workcell must comply with the safety requirements in the European Machine Directive
89/392/EEC (and subsequent amendments) and related harmonized European,
international, and national standards. For robot systems, these include: EN 775/ISO
10218, sections 5,6; EN 292-2; and EN 60204. For safety fences, see EN 294.
In other countries, Adept strongly recommends, in addition to complying with the
applicable local and national regulations, that a similar level of safety be obtained.
In the USA, applicable standards include ANSI/RIA R15.06 and ANSI/UL 1740.
In Canada, applicable standards include CAN/CSA Z434.
