4 Installation
and
Startup (4) Safety measures
●
When working with two or more persons, make it clear who is to be in charge
and communicate well with each other to ensure safety.
● When the product is operating or in the ready mode, take safety measures
(such as the installation of safety/protection fences) so that nobody can enter
the area within the robot's movable range. Contact with an operating robot
may lead to death or serious injury.
● Be sure to install an emergency stop circuit so that the unit can be stopped
immediately in an emergency during operation.
●
Take safety measures such that turning the power ON alone will not start up
the unit. Otherwise, this may cause the product to start unexpectedly, leading
to injury or product damage.
●
Take safety measures such that emergency stop cancel or recovery after
power failure alone will not start up the unit. Otherwise, this may lead to injury
or equipment damage.
● When installation or adjustment operation is to be performed, display signs
such as "Operating: No Power ON!" etc. Sudden power input may cause
electric shock or injury.
●
Take measures to prevent workpieces, etc. from falling during power failures or
emergency stop.
●
Wear protection gloves, goggles and safety shoes, as necessary, to secure
safety.
●
Do not insert fingers or objects into the openings in the product. Otherwise,
this may lead to injury, electric shock, product damage, or fire.
●
When releasing the brake on a vertically oriented actuator, be careful that it
does not fall under its own weight, catching the operator's hand or damaging
workpieces.
5 Teaching
●
When working with two or more persons, make it clear who is to be in charge
and communicate well with each other to ensure safety.
● Perform teaching operation from outside the safety/protection fence, if
possible. If operation must be performed within the safety/protection fence,
prepare "Work Regulations" and make sure that all the workers acknowledge
and understand them well.
● When operation is to be performed inside the safety/protection fence,
operators should have emergency stop switches available at hand so that the
unit can be stopped at any time if abnormalities occur.
●
When operation is to be performed inside the safety/protection fence, have a
monitor standing by in addition to the operator(s) so that the unit can be
stopped at any time if abnormalities occur. Also, keep watch on the operation
so that a third party cannot operate the switches carelessly.
●
Place a sign indicating "Operating" where it can be seen easily.
● When releasing the brake on a vertically oriented actuator, be careful that it
does not fall under its own weight, catching the operator's hand or damaging
workpieces.
* Safety/protection fence: If there is no safety/protection fence, the movable
range should be indicated.
