2.4 Robot Behavior
Hardstops
If the Cobra 350 runs into one of its hardstops, the robot’s motion will stop completely, an
envelope error will be generated, and power will be cut to the robot motors.
The robot cannot continue to move after hitting a hardstop until the error has been cleared.
The Cobra 350’s hardstops are capable of stopping the robot at any speed, load, and max-
imum or minimum extension.
Limiting Devices
There are no dynamic or electro-mechanical limiting devices provided by Omron Adept Tech-
nologies, Inc. The robot does not have safety-rated soft axis or space limiting.
However, the user can install their own safety rated (category 0 or 1) dynamic limiting devices
if needed, that comply with ISO 10218-1, Clause 5.12.2.
Singularities
No singularities exist that cause a hazardous situation with a Cobra 350 robot.
