Safety devices
The integrator is responsible for that the safety devices necessary to protect people
working with the robot system are designed and installed correctly.
When integrating the robot with external devices to a robot system:
• The integrator of the robot system must ensure that emergency stop functions
are interlocked in accordance with applicable standards.
• The integrator of the robot system must ensure that safety functions are
interlocked in accordance with applicable standards.
Other hazards
The risk assessment should also consider other hazards arising from the
application, such as, but not limited to:
• Water
• Compressed air
• Hydraulics
End-effector hazards require particular attention for applications which involve
close human collaboration with the robot.
Specific information for GoFa robots
The CRB 15000 collaborative robot is designed to be able to work safely alongside
humans and even share tasks with them. It is vital for the user of the robot to
operate it in a safe way, setting up the necessary safety configurations, and ensure
that appropriate risk reduction measures are implemented. See sections
Working
closely with the robot in a safe way on page 111 , and The SafeMove configurator
app on FlexPendant on page 120 , as well as Guidelines for transient and quasi-static
contact, CRB 15000 on page 132 for details on how to do this.
The CRB 15000 collaborative robot has no provision for mechanical stops to limit
axis motion (see ISO 10218-1, §5.12.1). Instead, safety-related soft axis limiting
(see ISO 10218-1, §5.12.3) should be used to limit motion if required. This can be
implemented using the safety function
Axis Position Supervision , described in the
SafeMove manual.
Verify the safety functions
Before the robot system is put into operation, verify that the safety functions are
working as intended and that any remaining hazards identified in the risk
assessment are mitigated to an acceptable level.
