1.2.2.3. Safety risks related to tools/work pieces
Safe handling
It must be possible to safely turn off tools, such as milling cutters, etc. Make sure that guards
remain closed until the cutters stop rotating.
It should be possible to release parts by manual operation (valves).
Safe design
Grippers/end effectors must be designed so that they retain work pieces in the event of a
power failure or a disturbance to the controller.
CAUTION!
Ensure that a gripper is prevented from dropping a work piece, if such is used.
