Milo Quick Start Guide

General safety procedures for using industrial
robots
Note that the words
Robot
and
Rig
are completely interchangeable and
identical in meaning, for the purposes of this document.
Motion Control rigs are potentially dangerous. It is important that you
and everyone else on the set understand the safety notes on the following
pages in order to stay safe.
You should use this document in addition to the normal Safety Manual
instructions that are applicable to all motion control rigs. This section
emphasises the safety concerns that are especially important around
high-speed, high-acceleration, industrial-grade robots which can cause
severe injuries.
See the separate
Precision Track Quick Start Guide
for
information on laying the track and mounting Milo onto it.
It is ultimately the
operator
of the rig who is responsible for
the safe use of the equipment so never bypass any of the safety
points listed here.
No one other than a highly trained operator should use the
robot, no matter how simple it looks or is.
This document is for the use of robots for carrying cameras or
props, not people. Additional safety steps should be taken prior
to using a rig to carry people.
