Safety Precautions Before use of robots, be sure to read the safety precautions below and the supplementary “Safety Manual” carefully and take appropriate measures. A. See below for safety precautions based on the Ordinance on Labor Safety and Hygiene (Chapter 36,104, 150, and 151).
Page 4
B. See below for safety precautions given in the separate “Safety Manual”. For more details, refer to the “Safety Manual”. For automatic operations of a robot with multiple controllers (GOT, PLC, and push DANGER button switch), create interlocks for each device on your own. Use a robot in the environment given in the specifications.
Page 5
Do not stop or apply an emergency stop on the robot by turning the main power to robot controller off. Doing so during the automatic operation may cause a negative CAUTION impact on the robot accuracy or interfere with the peripheral device due to the fall or coasting of the arm.
