2.6.3 Disabling Power to the System using lock out / tag out
The power connection for the Robot Controller should be such that it can be locked and
tagged in the off position to prevent anyone from turning ON power while someone else
is in the safeguarded area.
2.6.4 End Effector Design
Provide wiring and piping that will prevent the robot end effector from releasing the
object held (the work piece) when the robot system power is shut off.
Design the robot end effector such that its weight and moment of inertia do not exceed the
allowable limits. Use of values that exceed the allowable limits can subject the robot to
excessive loads. This will not only shorten the service life of the robot but can lead to
unexpectedly dangerous situations due to additional external forces applied to the end
effector and the work piece.
Design the size of the end effector with care, since the robot body and robot end effector
can interfere with each other.
2.6.5 Peripheral Equipment Design
When designing equipment that removes and supplies parts and materials to the robot
system, ensure that the design provides the operator with sufficient safety. If there is a
need to remove and supply materials without stopping the robot, install a shuttle device or
take other measures to ensure that the operator does not need to enter a potentially
dangerous zone.
Ensure that an interruption to the power supply (power shutoff) of peripheral equipment
does not lead to a dangerous situation. Take measures that not only prevent a work piece
held from being released as mentioned in “End effector Design” but that also ensure
peripheral equipment other than the robots can stop safely. Verify equipment safety to
ensure that, when the power shuts off, the area is safe.
2.6.6 Remote Control
For the safety of the overall system, however, safety measures are needed to eliminate the
risks associated with the start-up and shutdown of peripheral equipment by remote
control.
With this product, the robot system can be operated remotely by assigning a remote
function to the controller I/O. To prevent danger from unintended remote control, the
remote function will not be enabled without proper settings. Also when remote is valid,
motion command execution and I/O output are available only from remote.
