ROBOTIQ AX20 Manual page 18

Robot Risks
All personnel working with and around the robot must be informed of the inherent risks and safety instructions.
l
To avoid being pinched or crushed when the robot moves toward a stationary object, always keep a minimum
l
distance of 500 mm between the robot reach (or UR safety plane) and any stationary object like safety fences.
To avoid being pinched or crushed between the robot (including the gripper) and walls or peripherals, always
l
keep a minimum distance of 500 mm after the operation zone.
Those values aforementioned are taken from standard EN 13854:2019 (Minimum gaps to avoid crushing of
l
parts of the human body). The installation must maintain the minimum distances specified in this standard.
Never go under or near the axis carriage or robot arm. When a contact with the robot is required for teaching
l
robot positions, keep your body as far as possible.
Make sure that no one is in the danger zone before rearming the safeguarding (especially when teaching robot
l
positions).
When teaching positions, make sure to stay alert and keep clear of the robot. Always wear safety glasses.
l
Proper safeguarding must be installed to prevent contact with the robot or the linear axis when the solution is
l
in operation. Refer to the Installation section of this manual for details.
For more information, refer to the robot's instruction manual.
Robots move quickly and exert high force. A program interruption or stop can be followed by rapid and dangerous movements.
l
Even a programmed robot can be affected by external signals and make unexpected movements. Therefore, when entering the
l
work area, all safety instructions must be observed.
Robot teaching, robot programming and software modification may only be performed by competent and authorized personnel.
l
Changes to the robot's safety settings may only be made by competent and authorized personnel. The changes must be verified
l
and documented.
Reducing the robot's speed or force is not an efficient way to reduce the risk of contact between the robot or the
linear axis. Even at its slowest speed, the robot movements can cause material damage and bodily injury.
Movement Without Power Supply
If a person has been trapped by the robot arm, make sure that attempting to free the person does not aggravate
an injury or further increase the risk of injury.
In the case of an undesired event (malfunction, emergency, blockage, etc.), power loss or unwanted power surge, you can refer to
UR robot manual for robot forced back-driving.
