Safety The following sections discuss the safety measures you must take while operating an Omron Adept robot. Reading and Training for System Users Omron Adept robot systems include computer-controlled mechanisms that are capable of moving at high speeds and exerting considerable force. Like all robot systems and industrial equipment, they must be treated with respect by the system user.
Impacts and Trapping Points Omron Adept recommends that you read the American National Standard for Industrial Robot Systems - Safety Requirements, published by the Robotic Industries Association in conjunction with the American National Standards Institute. The publication, ANSI/RIA R15.06-1986, contains guidelines for robot system installation, safeguarding, maintenance, testing, startup, and operator training. The document is available from the American National Standards Institute, 1430 Broadway, New York, NY 10018. System Safeguards Safeguards should be an integral part of robot workcell design, installation, operator training, and operating procedures.
Omron Adept robot systems have various communication features to aid you in constructing system safeguards. These include remote emergency stop circuitry and digital input and output lines. eV+Language User's Guide, v2.x, 18318-000 Rev A Page 13
