Limitations on robot operating speed

A major purpose of robot operation while the operator is working within the safety enclosure is
maintenance and adjustment of the robot. If a dangerous situation should occur, the operator can
easily avoid it if the robot operating speed is maintained within 250mm/sec.
The robot operating speed in "SERVICE" mode is therefore basically limited to below 3% of
maximum speed. However, if the robot operating speed has to be set higher than the safety range
while the operator is still within the safety enclosure, this speed limitation can be cancelled
provided you take responsibility for your own safety.

CAUTION
When operating the robot without using the safety functions explained in sections
8.2, 8.3 and 8.4 while the operator is still within the safety enclosure, it is important to
take even more stringent safety precautions.
