1.2 Safety 

1.2.1 General 

The integrator installing the tool changer into the system must follow the safety demands stated 
in standards and provisions applicable in the country where the tool changer system is to be 
installed. The products are all prepared for CE-certification. 

The user of the Robot System Products’ tool changer is responsible that law and directives 
applicable in respective countries, with regards to safety, are followed. The user is also 
responsible to guarantee that all safety devices are installed correctly. 

WARNING! 

Never carry out service work on a robot that has not been taken out of operation. 
See safety information for the robot.

 

WARNING! 

Only perform work on tools attached to the tool changer if the air pressure is safely 
switched off.

  

WARNING! 

Be aware that tool changer and tool attachment may cause personal injury and 
equipment damage if dropped. 

NOTE! 

The tool changer shall always be in locked position, also when empty, to avoid 
unexpected locking if air pressure is lost. 

WARNING! 

Electric signals must be disconnected/switched off when docking the tool 
attachment. This is to prevent sparking between signal pins and tool attachment.
