SAFETY DURING MAINTENANCE
When performing maintenance on the robot system, all of the previous safety
guidelines should be in effect as well as the following:
Make sure that all persons within the work envelope are thoroughly fami l-
iar with the performance characteristics of the robot and its potential ha z-
ards.
When working on the robot controller or while the robot is in the production
mode, make sure that the work envelope is clear of personnel.
Always disconnect main power and ‘Lock-Out’ the switch box before in-
spection.
Replace all equipment/service covers after performing a maintenance pr o-
cedure.
Always have an escape path planned.
Never slow or stop the robot with any body part or makeshift device.
Removal or loss of air pressure may result in moving mechanisms. Appr o-
priate precautions must be taken to prevent equipment damage or perso n-
al injury in such cases.
