2.9 Operation If the customer determines that teaching the robot in Manual Mode is allowable under local regulations, operators with additional safety equipment may work in the robot workcell. For safety reasons the operator should, whenever possible, stay outside of the robot workcell to pre- vent injury. The maximum speed and power of the robot is reduced, but it could still cause injury to the operator. The type of safety equipment required for operators working within a workcell must be determ- ined by the user, based on industry standards and their installation. Safety glasses, protective headgear (hard hat), and safety shoes are examples to be considered.
Warning signs must be posted around the workcell to ensure that anyone working around the robot system knows they must wear safety equipment. ! WARNING: PERSONAL INJURY RISK. During the Commissioning wizard, the robot will move. Ensure that personnel stay clear of the robot work area during commissioning. ! DANGER: PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE RISK. Do not operate a robot system when the physical safeguard is decom- missioned. Failure to do this could cause death, or serious injury or equipment damage. ! DANGER: PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE RISK. After installing the robot, you must test it before you use it for the first time.
Failure to do this could cause death, serious injury, or equipment damage. ! WARNING: PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE RISK. Before starting the operation of equipment, always confirm that the safety equip- ment of the robot works properly. If a malfunction of the safety equipment is detected, follow the procedure for abnormal conditions. ! CAUTION: PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE RISK. Any moving robot requires some distance to stop. When stopping a robot, make sure that there is no interference with other equipment. This requires more distance at high operating speeds or heavier payloads. ! WARNING: PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE RISK.
Use the total weight of the end-effector and the payload to stay within the pay- load rating of the robot. Ensure that the system never exceeds that maximum payload. 20 Robot Safety Guide 18304-000 Rev. F
