Chapter 1 Safety and Precautions 1.2 Safety Precautions 1.2.1 Precautions for general safety The robot may be damaged in the case of incomplete safety functions and protective devices. Do not use the robot when safety functions are disabled or protective devices are removed.
Chapter 1 Safety and Precautions The dangerous area includes any position where the robot body and the robot arms may stay in their motion trajectories, which can be protected by isolated protective devices to avoid personal injury or property damage. When the robot stops running, the robot arms will stop in the dangerous area.
Maintenance personnel must wear work clothes, safety helmet, etc. when performing maintenance on the robot. To replace any parts, please contact QKM; avoid damage to the robot or personal injury caused by unexpected situations from operations of users upon subjective judgment.
Chapter 1 Safety and Precautions When starting a changed program, test it by reducing the system speed and then gradually increasing the speed. After repairing and maintaining the robot, test the robot to ensure that the robot and its functions are complete. 1.2.6 Precautions for safe shutdown Precautions when the robot stops running: Decrease the speed of the robot before enabling the robot to be off servo.
The cycle for routine inspection is based on the normal working conditions. For the normal working environment, please refer to the parameters of operating environment in "MS6MT Robot User Manual". The actual maintenance cycle depends on the operating frequency of the robot.
