Adept AnyFeeder User’s Guide, Rev. B 15
1.8 Safety Equipment for Operators
Adept advises operators to wear extra safety equipment in the workcell. For safety
reasons, operators must wear the following when they are in the robot workcell:
• Safety glasses
• Protective headgear (hard hats)
• Safety shoes
Install warning signs around the workcell to ensure that anyone working around the
robot system knows they must wear safety equipment.
1.9 Protection Against Unauthorized Operation
The system must be protected against unauthorized use. Restrict access to the keyboard
and the pendant by locking them in a cabinet or use another adequate method to prevent
access to them.
1.10 Safety Aspects While Performing Maintenance
Only skilled persons with the necessary knowledge about the safety and operation of the
equipment are allowed to maintain the robot and controller.
1.11 Risks That Cannot Be Avoided
Adept robot control system implementation has devices that disable High Power if a
system failure occurs. However, certain residual risks or improper situations could cause
hazards. The following situations may result in risks that cannot be avoided:
• Failure of software or electronics that may cause high-speed robot motion in
Manual mode
• Failure of hardware associated with enabling a device or an E-Stop system
WARNING: During maintenance and repair, the power to
the SmartController and robot must be turned off. Use
lockout measures to prevent unauthorized users from
turning on power.
