4 Installation and
Start (4) Safety Measures
● When the product is under operation or in the ready mode, take the safety
measures (such as the installation of safety and protection fence) so that
nobody can enter the area within the robot’s movable range. When the robot
under operation is touched, it may result in death or serious injury.
● Make sure to install the emergency stop circuit so that the unit can be
stopped immediately in an emergency during the unit operation.
● Take the safety measure not to start up the unit only with the power turning
ON. Failure to do so may start up the machine suddenly and cause an injury
or damage to the product.
● Take the safety measure not to start up the machine only with the emergency
stop cancellation or recovery after the power failure. Failure to do so may
result in an electric shock or injury due to unexpected power input.
● When the installation or adjustment operation is to be performed, give clear
warnings such as “Under Operation; Do not turn ON the power!” etc. Sudden
power input may cause an electric shock or injury.
● Take the measure so that the work is not dropped in power failure or
emergency stop.
● Wear protection gloves, goggle or safety shoes, as necessary, to secure
safety.
● Do not insert a finger or object in the openings in the product. Failure to do
so may cause an injury, electric shock, damage to the product or fire.
● When releasing the brake on a vertically oriented actuator, exercise
precaution not to pinch your hand or damage the work parts with the
actuator dropped by gravity.
5 Teaching
● Perform the teaching operation from outside the safety protection fence, if
possible. In the case that the operation is to be performed unavoidably inside
the safety protection fence, prepare the “Stipulations for the Operation” and
make sure that all the workers acknowledge and understand them well.
● When the operation is to be performed inside the safety protection fence, the
worker should have an emergency stop switch at hand with him so that the
unit can be stopped any time in an emergency.
● When the operation is to be performed inside the safety protection fence,
in addition to the workers, arrange a watchman so that the machine can be
stopped any time in an emergency. Also, keep watch on the operation so
that any third person can not operate the switches carelessly.
● Place a sign “Under Operation” at the position easy to see.
● When releasing the brake on a vertically oriented actuator, exercise
precaution not to pinch your hand or damage the work parts with the
actuator dropped by gravity.
* Safety protection Fence : In the case that there is no safety protection
fence, the movable range should be indicated.
