SAFETY DIRECTIVES CONCERNING TO STAFF PROTECTION
Stäubli
robots work with computer controlled mechanisms, capable of moving at high speed and exerting
considerable force. Like all robots and most industrial equipment, they must be controlled with great care by the
user of the robot cell. All staff using
Stäubli
robots must be familiar with the warnings and recommendations given
in this manual.
3.3.1.
MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL DANGERS
To turn of power, set the
CS8C
main switch to the
"0"
position.
To prevent inadvertent during the service operation, the main switch must be locked in
0
position using a padlock
whose key is to be kept by the person carrying out the service operation. The locked status must be shown by a
sign. For example, put a "Do not operate" sign in place.
Before powering up the system, make sure that all the electrical protection systems have been fitted and that there
is no risk of electric shocks.
Note:
When the main switch is set to
0
, voltage remains present between the input terminals (mains
supply filter) and the main switch input.
This sign, applied on different parts of the robot, indicates that there is a potential electrical
danger and that only qualified service personnel may install or service the robot system.
DANGER:
•
Only qualified service personnel may install or service the robot system.
•
Ensure compliance with all local and national safety and electrical codes for the
installation and operation of the robot system.
•
Disconnect all the electrical and pneumatic power supplies before carrying out any
work on the controller or the arm.
DANGER:
Each time the arm is powered on, keep one hand close to the "Emergency stop" button
in order to be able to press it as quickly as possible in the event of a problem.
