1.3.3. DANGER - Moving manipulators are potentially lethal!
Description
Any moving manipulator is a potentially lethal machine.
When running, the manipulator may perform unexpected and sometimes irrational
movements. Moreover, all movements are performed with great force and may seriously
injure any personnel and/or damage any piece of equipment located within the working range
of the manipulator.
Elimination
Action Note
1. Before attempting to run the manipulator,
make sure all emergency stop equipment
is correctly installed and connected.
Emergency stop equipment such as gates,
tread mats, light curtains, etc.
2. Usually the hold-to-run function is active
only in manual full speed mode. To
increase safety it is also possible to
activate hold-to-run for manual reduced
speed with a system parameter.
The hold-to-run function is used in manual
mode, not in automatic mode.
How to use the hold-to-run function is
described in section How to use the hold-
to-run function in the Operating manual -
IRC5 with FlexPendant.
How to use the hold-to-run control in
RobotWare 4.0 is detailed in section The
Teach Pendant unit in the User Guide.
3. Make sure no personnel are present within
the working range of the manipullator
before pressing the start button.
