SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
2.3 Control devices
outside the robot's
restricted space
The robot controller, teach pendant, and operating panel should
be installed outside the robot's restricted space and in a place
where you can observe all of the robot’s movements when
operating the robot controller, teach pendant, or operating
panel.
2.4 Positioning of gauges
Pressure gauges, oil pressure gauges and other gauges should
be installed in an easy-to-check location.
2.5 Protection of electrical
wiring and
hydraulic/pneumatic
piping
If there is any possibility of the electrical wiring or
hydraulic/pneumatic piping being damaged, protect them with a
cover or similar item.
2.6 Positioning of
emergency stop
switches
Emergency stop switches should be provided in a position
where they can be reached easily should it be necessary to
stop the robot immediately.
(1) The emergency stop switches should be red.
(2) Emergency stop switches should be designed so that they
will not be released after pressed, automatically or
mistakenly by any other person.
(3) Emergency stop switches should be separate from the
power switch.
2.7 Positioning of
operating status
indicators
Operating status indicators should be positioned in such a way
where workers can easily see whether the robot is on
temporary halt or on an emergency or abnormal stop.
