(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.
