SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

3)Maintaining worker position and stance

Position and stance that enables the worker to confirm normal robot operation and to take immediate refuge if a malfunction occurs.

4)Implementation of measures for noise prevention

5)Signaling methods for workers of related equipment

6)Types of malfunctions and how to distinguish them

Please ensure "working regulations" are appropriate to the robot type, the place of installation and to the content of the work.

Be sure to consult the opinions of related workers, engineers at the equipment manufacturer and that of a labor safety consultant when creating these "working regulations".

To prevent anyone other than the worker from accessing the start switch or the changeover switch by accident during operation, display something to indicate it is in operation on the operating panel or teach pendant. Take any other steps as appropriate, such as locking the cover.

When performing jobs within the robot’s restricted space, take any of the following steps to ensure that robot operation can be stopped immediately upon a malfunction.

(1)Ensure an overseer is placed in a position outside the robot’s restricted space and one in which he/she can see all robot movements, and that he/she is devoted solely to that task.

Q An emergency stop device should be activated immediately upon a malfunction.

R Do not permit anyone other than the worker engaged for that job to enter the robot’s restricted space.

(2)Ensure a worker within the robot's restricted space carries the portable emergency stop switch so he/she can press it (the robot stop button on the teach pendant) immediately if it should be necessary to do so.
