6.3 Scrapping of robot
Note
The decommissioning process shall be preceded by a risk assessment.
Important when scrapping the robot
DANGER
The risk assessment should consider hazards arising in the decommissioning,
such as, but not limited to:
• Always remove all batteries. If a battery is exposed to heat, for example
from a blow torch, it will explode.
• Always remove all oil/grease in gearboxes. If exposed to heat, for example
from a blow torch, the oil/grease will catch fire.
• When motors are removed from the robot, the robot will collapse if it is not
properly supported before the motor is removed.
• A used robot does not have the same performance as on delivery. Springs,
brakes, bearings, and other parts might be worn or broken.
