prohibited.
The robot is equipped with a variety of self-diagnosis functions and abnormal detection
functions, even if abnormal can be safely stopped.Even so, accidents caused by robots still
happen.
Robot accidents in the following cases.
1. Automatic operation was performed without confirming whether
there was any human in the motion range of the robot.
2. Enter into the action range of the robot under the state of automatic
operation, and suddenly start the robot during the operation.
3. Only pay attention to the robot in front of you, not to other robots.
The accidents were all caused by the same "negligence of safety procedures" and "failure to
anticipate sudden robot movements".In other words, accidents are caused by "momentary
negligence", "failure to follow prescribed procedures" and other human unsafe behavior.
"Emergency" makes it too late for operators to implement "emergency stop", "escape" and
other behaviors to avoid accidents, which may lead to major accidents."Emergency" generally
has the following kinds.
1) Low speed action suddenly becomes high speed action.
2) Other operators performed the operation.
3) Different programs were started due to exceptions and program errors on peripheral devices.
4) Abnormal actions caused by noise, faults, defects, etc.
5) Misoperation.
6) Intended to perform the action at a low speed, but performed the high speed action.
7) The workpiece carried by the robot falls down and spreads out.
8) The workpiece suddenly loses control under the stop state of clamping and interlock waiting.
9) The robot next to or behind performed the action.
These are just a few examples; there are many forms of "contingencies."In most cases, it is
impossible for a robot to "stop" or "escape" from a sudden movement, so the following best
practices should be implemented to avoid such accidents Was born.
Be careful not to go near the robot.
When the robot is not in use, measures such as "pressing the emergency
stop button" and "cutting off the power supply" should be taken to make
the robot unable to move.
