(4) Safety Measures

Ɣ When the work is carried out with 2 or more persons, make it clear who is to be the

leader and who to be the follower(s) and communicate well with each other to

ensure the safety of the workers.

Ɣ 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.

Ɣ Make sure to install the emergency stop circuit so that the unit can be stopped

immediately in an emergency during the unit operation.

Ɣ 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.

Ɣ 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.

Ɣ 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.

Ɣ Take the measure so that the work part is not dropped in power failure or

emergency stop.

Ɣ Wear protection gloves, goggle or safety shoes, as necessary, to secure safety.

Ɣ 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.

Ɣ 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

Ɣ When the work is carried out with 2 or more persons, make it clear who is to be the

leader and who to be the follower(s) and communicate well with each other to

ensure the safety of the workers.

Ɣ 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.

Ɣ 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.

Ɣ 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.

Ɣ Place a sign “Under Operation” at the position easy to see.

Ɣ 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.
