2.7 To be observed by the supplier of the complete system
Overview
The integrator is responsible for making sure that the safety devices necessary to
protect people working with FlexLoader SC 6000 are designed and installed
correctly.
When integrating FlexLoader SC 6000 with external devices and machines:
• The supplier of the complete system must ensure that all circuits used in the
protective stop function are interlocked in a safe manner, in accordance with
the applicable standards for the protective stop function.
• The supplier of the complete system must ensure that all circuits used in the
emergency stop function are interlocked in a safe manner, in accordance
with the applicable standards for the emergency stop function.
• The supplier of the complete system must ensure that all circuits used in all
other safety function are interlocked in accordance with the applicable
standards for that function.
The integrator of the final application is required to perform an assessment of the
hazards and risks (HRA).
Note
The integrator is responsible for the safety of the final application.
Safe access
The robot system shall be designed to allow safe access to all areas where
intervention is necessary during operation, adjustment, and maintenance.
Where it is necessary to perform tasks within the safeguarded space there shall
be safe and adequate access to the task locations.
Safety zones, which must be crossed before admittance, must be set up in front
of the robot’s working space. Light beams or sensitive mats are suitable devices.
Turn-tables or the like should be used to keep the operator out of the robot’s
working space.
A safety fence is recommended to ensure safeguarded space. Sufficient space
must be provided around the manipulator to protect those working with or on it
from hazards such as crushing.
The fence or enclosure must be dimensioned to withstand the force created if the
load being handled by the robot is dropped or released at maximum speed.
Determine the maximum speed from the maximum velocities of the robot axes and
from the position at which the robot is working in the work cell (see the
Robot
product specification ).
Also consider the maximum possible impact caused by a breaking or malfunctioning
rotating tool or other device fitted to the robot or positioned stationary in the cell.
The FlexLoader SC 6000 used with Eden door switches does not evaluate door
locking in its safety function. This has to be considered in the risk assessment.
