BenchBot Robot Safety and Installation Guide
Mechanical hazards
Protecting users
The BenchBot Robot has relatively low inertia and is designed to stop its
movement when it comes in contact with an obstacle. However, you can be
injured if you obstruct the robot while it is in motion.
Agilent Technologies strongly recommends that you install the robot inside an
enclosure. Safety- interlocked doors or light curtains that stop the robot when
opened or interrupted can be used to further mitigate risk. Make sure the
safety- interlocked enclosure complies with your country's safety regulations.
EU installations only . The enclosure and other safety recommendations are
required so that the BenchBot Robot installation is compliant with the
provisions of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
Moving-parts hazards
The following diagram shows the robot’s maximum radial and vertical reach.
Notice that the robot arm is able to reach behind the mast. For safety
considerations, the maximum radial reach specification includes a standard
labware held in the portrait orientation.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from moving parts, make sure that the BenchBot
Robot safety interlock circuit is connected to an enclosure or light curtain with an
interlock switch or key.
WARNING
To prevent potential damage or personal injury in unsupervised systems,
you must install required warning devices.
WARNING
Keep clear of the robot’s reach when it is in motion. Keep your fingers, hair,
clothing, and jewelry away from the robot while it is in motion.
WARNING
The robot does not always move in a straight line between teachpoints. Do
not try to predict the robot’s movements and reach into the robot’s travel space while it is
in operation.
