GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ON REPLACEMENT
This section describes the precautions to be taken when replacing parts due to trouble, etc.
This information is presented here for use as general precautions. In addition to these,
adhere the safety measures required for each replacement procedure.
1. Read and understand thoroughly all manuals, specifications and related documents
provided by Kawasaki before operation.
2. Before entering the safety fence (safeguarded space), make sure all necessary safety
measures are prepared and functioning well.
3. Before starting replacement work, shut OFF control power up to the main power source.
Display signs indicating clearly “POWER CUT-OFF IN PROGRESS” or
“REPLACEMENT IN PROGRESS”, and lock out/tag out the main power switch to
prevent personnel from accidentally turning ON the power.
4.
Before starting replacement work, secure enough space around the robot so there is no
danger of interference with peripheral systems. Set the peripheral systems in a fixed
status so they will not make any sudden motion.
5. Disable automatic operation functions when entering the safety fence. If the robot
makes any abnormal motion, press EMERGENCY STOP switch immediately, and
evacuate on a planned path of retreat.
6. In addition to the EMERGENCY STOP switch held by the technician, install another
E-STOP switch for the supervisor outside the safety fence, in a place where the robot’s
entire motion range can be monitored. If the robot moves abnormally during
observation of the replacement, the E-STOP switch should be accessible and easy for the
supervisor to press. After an E-Stop, reset and restart robot operations from outside the
fence. Moreover, monitoring duties are limited to personnel who are trained and
qualified.
CAUTION
！
Parts replacement duties are limited to personnel who have
completed special training and education for the installed
robot or for an equivalent model.
