IEC 60204-1 and ISO 10218-1. The digits of the COVVI Robotic Hand are not manually back-driveable, however the thumb can be manually rotated out of position in the event of a failure of the power supply, this will not damage the mechanism. -
Page 11: Residual Risks And Safety Measures
2.0 Safety The COVVI Robotic Hand does not support manual high-speed operation. Any restricted spaces required for such operations must be designed and implemented by the machine integrator as part of the overall system safety design. Operators must ensure sufficient operational clearance to avoid collisions with hard surfaces or obstacles. - Page 12 Follow the recommended inspection and maintenance schedules in Section 8.0. • Contact COVVI at customerservice@covvi-robotics.com for replacement damaged components if required. www.covvi-robotics.com | Unit 4, Quayside Business Park, Leeds, LS10 1DJ | +44 (0)20 3949 9500 0 | Page 12...
