HS-105P
Safety & Introduction
User Manual
1-3
If the direct line of sight is obstructed in your installation, it is recommended
that one or more viewing cameras (e.g. security type cameras) are installed to
cover the active areas and allow the operator to view the entire work-space at all
times.
Operating Footprint And Safe Operating Zone
The operating footprint must take into account the overhang of any payload
equipment mounted on the HS-105P. In particular, the payload element that pro-
trudes the most defines the operating footprint area as the head pans and tilts.
If your operating practices require personnel to work less than 3 feet (1m) out-
side the operating footprint, you must make sure that they are trained and are
aware of the hazards of working in a robot environment, including the specific
hazards listed below. The forces are sufficient to cause personal injury, or injury
to others and therefore, caution is essential.
Warning Signs
Warning signs should be displayed prominently in the workplace as a reminder
to trained personnel, and a primary warning to untrained personnel and visitors.
A typical sign might read:
WARNING:
Robotic heads and lenses move suddenly without warning
Keep a MINIMUM of 3 feet from active heads at all times
Heads Can Start Unexpectedly
The hazards associated with robotic camera systems are only slightly different
than those associated with operating a camera under conventional manual con-
trol. The speeds and camera weights are similar. The main difference is that with
automation, the operator is normally not near the cameras, and it is more diffi-
cult to verify that the area is clear. For personnel working on or near the robotic
heads, they must be aware that the equipment can start moving unexpectedly.
All personnel should be trained and aware of the hazards of robotic heads, and
the fact that they can move at any time. They must be trained on how far the
heads and payloads can move, the speeds involved, and the need to stay back an
appropriate distance.
Most adjustments to the camera and head, such as tilt balancing and camera
video adjustments, should be made with the system de-energized. However, if
adjustments are absolutely necessary while the head is powered, they should
only be made by trained technical personnel familiar with the AutoCam robotics
system. They must understand that the camera can move unexpectedly at any
time, and must position themselves so that any motion would not cause them
personal harm.
