Operating Mode Automatic mode Production mode (no speed limit) Manual mode < 250 mm/s – max velocity 250 mm/s 100 % – Option, robot can be jogged/tested with no speed limit.
Limiting the Workspace To avoid the risk of getting caught between the robot and the perimeter safety equipment, e.g. a fence, the robot’s workspace can be limited: All axis can be software limited On some robots Axis 1–3 can be limited by adjustable mechanical stops and controlled by limit switches
Accident Risks Fault tracing Repair Change of program Test run
Accident Risks Fault tracing Fault tracing and repair procedure go hand in hand .you are at your vulnerable when you’re fixing a robot. Never rush through the steps and try to work around the safety procedures .
Accident Risks Change Program A program change may mean what was safe space yesterday isn’t a safe space today Be sure you are following procedure and clear communicating information about any program changes
Accident Risks Change Program Anytime you change a program, make sure you perform a test run Check to make sure the robot moves the way you intended without any programming mistakes . Accidentally forgetting a clearance position in the robot’s program may cause someone serious harm and injury.
