1 Safety
1.1.1 Limitation of liability
Continued
The integrator of the final application is required to perform an assessment of the
hazards and risks (HRA).
Safe access
The robot system shall be designed to allow safe access to all areas where
intervention is necessary during operation, adjustment, and maintenance.
Where it is necessary to perform tasks within the safeguarded space there shall
be safe and adequate access to the task locations.
Safety zones, which must be crossed before admittance, must be set up in front
of the robot's working space. Light beams or sensitive mats are suitable devices.
Turntables or the like should be used to keep the operator out of the robot's working
space.
Safe handling
Users shall not be exposed to hazards, including slipping, tripping, and falling
hazards.
Safe design
Emergency stop buttons must be positioned in easily accessible places so that
the robot can be stopped quickly. If any of the buttons do not stop all the robot
work cell motion, each emergency stop button must be marked and placed so there
is no risk for using the wrong button stop. If more than one emergency stop is
provided, each should indicate its designated safety function.
Grippers/end effectors must be designed so that they do not drop work pieces/tools
in the event of a power failure or a disturbance to the controller.
Unauthorized modifications of the originally delivered robot are prohibited. Without
the consent of ABB, it is forbidden to attach additional parts through welding,
riveting, or drilling of new holes into the castings. The strength of the robot could
be affected.
