2.7 Transport
Always use adequate equipment to lift and transport Adept robots. See Chapter 3 for
more information on lifting, transporting, and installing.
2.8 Safety Requirements for Additional Equipment
Additional equipment used with the Adept Cobra i-series robot (grippers, conveyor belts,
etc.) must not reduce the workcell safeguards.
All emergency-stop switches must always be accessible.
If the robot is to be used in an EU or EEA member country, all components in the robot
workcell must comply with the safety requirements in the European Machine Directive
89/392/EEC (and subsequent amendments) and related harmonized European,
international, and national standards. For robot systems, these include: EN 775/ISO
10218, sections 5,6; EN 292-2; and EN 60204. For safety fences, see EN 294.
In other countries, Adept strongly recommends, in addition to complying with the
applicable local and national regulations, that a similar level of safety be obtained.
In the USA, applicable standards include ANSI/RIA R15.06 and ANSI/UL 1740.
In Canada, applicable standards include CAN/CSA Z434.
2.9 Sound Emissions
The sound emission level of the Adept Cobra i-series robot depends on the speed and
payload. The maximum value is 90 dB. (This is at maximum
AUTO
-mode speed.)
WARNING: Stay clear of the robot while it is transported.
WARNING:
Acoustic emission from this robot may be up
to 90 dB (A) under worst-case conditions. Typical values
will be lower, depending on payload, speed, acceleration,
and mounting. Appropriate safety measures should be
taken, such as ear protection and display of a warning
sign.
