2.4 Notes on safe operation
The robot coupling may pose a danger to persons (risk of injury)
and property if, for example:
• it is not used as intended;
• it is not installed or maintained properly;
• The safety and installation instructions, local applicable safety
and accident prevention regulations or the Machine Directive
are not observed.
NOTES
During automated loading or unloading, particularly with high
loading weights, always work with the handling system at reduced
speed. The handling system must be positioned and fastened
precisely to guarantee that the connection is not offset.
Check the approach position of the pallet handling at regular
intervals. The position of the handling system can change slightly,
particularly with high load weights or when the clamping pallet is
bearing the loading weight significantly towards the front. In the
event of eccentricity on the coupling interfaces, the relevant
traveling axes of the handling system must be adjusted. The robot
coupling must lie flush with the pallet coupling with no tilt angle
and eccentricity when joining.
A rigid handling system must be used with high loading weights.
For the automated coupling process, it is advisable to use the air
purge to clean the coupling interface.
The pallet handling should be moved out of the machining area
once pallet loading is complete. On leaving the machining area,
the clamping system must be positioned to prevent dirt from
entering the interface.
Maintenance specifications
Follow the maintenance and care instructions. These instructions
are based on a normal working environment. If the robot coupling
is to be operated in an environment with abrasive dusts or
corrosive or caustic fumes or fluids, prior approval must be
obtained from SCHUNK.
Safety during assembly and servicing
During assembly, connection, adjustment, commissioning and
testing, make sure that no accidental operation of the robot
coupling by the fitter or other persons is possible.
Avoid any unsafe manner of working.
