Residual Risk When Using CoboSafe-CBSF Force Sensors

Please read the chapter "Residual risks" in the corresponding document 

"CoboSafe – General 

safety instructions".

Attention!

The measurement setup must meet requirements with regard to stiffness and at the 

same time guarantee stability. Therefore, hard and stiff components must be used, 

which must be firmly connected to each other. Depending on the measurement 

setup, burrs, corners and edges can cause cut and impact injuries, for example 

when using aluminum profiles. Falling or tilting components of the measuring setup 

can cause injuries.

 GEFAHR

 WARNING

Dangerous measurement setup

Risk of injury due to improperly erected measurement setup!

 

Establish measurement setup only with deburred compo-

nents.

 

Upholster corners and edges.

 

Secure measurement setup against unauthorized access.

 

Wear specified protective equipment.

 

Secure the measurement setup against tilting.

If the measurement setup is established using sharp ed-

ged components or has sharp corners, this can result in 

cuts and impact injuries. Tilting parts of the measurement 

setup (e.g., due to low stability) can cause impact and 

crushing injuries.

 GEFAHR

 WARNING

Falling components

Risk of injury from dropping or dropping components!

 

Keep order in the workplace.

 

Keep work surfaces free for assembly and storage of 

components.

 

After use, store unused components as described in this 

manual.

 

Handle all components with care.

 

Always hold the force sensors at the side for lifting and 

positioning and make sure that the display and switch are 

not touched.

 

Wear specified personal protective equipment.

Some components of the measuring system are heavy 

and hard. If force sensors, mounting adapters, transport 

cases, film rolls or the scanner are dropped, severe inju

-

ries up to crushing and bone fractures can result.
