2.8 Sound Emissions
The sound emission level of a module system depends on the commanded speed and
payload. The maximum value is
85 dB, when measured at 1 meter. (This is at maximum
AUTO -mode speed.)
2.9 Thermal Hazard
2.10 Working Areas
Adept Python Modules have a Manual and an Automatic ( AUTO ) operating mode. While
in Automatic Mode, personnel are not allowed in the workcell.
In Manual mode, operators with additional safety equipment (see Section 2.12 on page
33 ) are allowed to work in the workcell. For safety reasons the operator should, whenever
possible, stay outside of the work envelope to prevent injury. The maximum speed and
power of the robot is reduced, but it could still cause injury to the operator.
Before performing maintenance in the working envelope of the robot, High Power must
be switched off and the power supply of the robot must be disconnected. After these
precautions, a skilled person is allowed to maintain the robot. See
Section 2.11 for the
specifications.
CAUTION: Acoustic emission from this system may be up
to 85 dB (A) under worst-case conditions. Typical values
will be lower, depending on payload, speed, acceleration,
and mounting. Appropriate safety measures should be
taken, such as ear protection and display of a warning
sign.
WARNING: Thermal Hazard!
You can burn yourself. Do not touch the MB-10 cooling
fins shortly after the system has been running at high
ambient temperatures (40°C/104°F) or at fast cycle times
(over 60 cycles per minute). The MB-10 skin/surface
temperature can reach 85°C (185°F).
WARNING:
Electrical Hazard!
Impact Hazard!
Never remove any safeguarding and never make changes
in the system that will decommission a safeguard.
