1.6 SafeMove
The robot working space in the FlexMT is restricted by the use of SafeMove. Due
to space requirements, the SafeMove outer boundaries of restricted space are
close to the FlexMT enclosure.
In case of robot malfunction or erroneous programming leading to a movement
out of the restricted space, the robot will begin to stop its movement. Minor
collisions with the outer FlexMT housing can occur, but will not lead a personal
hazard.
DANGER
The SafeMove configuration shall not be disabled for any reason. Modifications
of the SafeMove configuration shall not be done without appropriate risk
assessment and validation.
DANGER
The SafeMove configuration inside the machine tool must be adopted to the
actual circumstances. Risk assessment must be performed, and the new
SafeMove configuration must be validated.
Alternate mounting position.
The FlexMT mechanical configuration does allow an alternate mounting position
of the robot. This possibility is given for the integrators convenience and shall not
be considered to be a standard option.
If the wall towards the machine tool is (partly) removed, the alternate mounting
position of the robot will move the robot ~100mm closer to the machine tool.
Standard mounting position A, alternate mounting position B
