32 Adept Cobra s600/s800 Robot User’s Guide, Rev H
2.11 Working Areas
Adept robots 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 2.13 on page
33) are allowed to work in the robot workcell. For safety reasons the operator should,
whenever possible, stay outside of the robot 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 work 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 2.12 for
specifications.
2.12 Qualification of Personnel
This manual assumes that all personnel have attended an Adept training course and have
a working knowledge of the system. The user must provide the necessary additional
training for all personnel who will be working with the system.
As noted in this manual, certain procedures should be performed only by skilled or
instructed persons. For a description of the level of qualification, Adept uses the standard
terms:
• Skilled persons have technical knowledge or sufficient experience to enable them
to avoid the dangers, electrical and/or mechanical.
• Instructed persons are adequately advised or supervised by skilled persons to
enable them to avoid the dangers, electrical and/or mechanical.
All personnel must observe sound safety practices during the installation, operation, and
testing of all electrically powered equipment. To avoid injury or damage to equipment,
always remove power by disconnecting the AC power from the source before attempting
any repair or upgrade activity. Use appropriate lockout procedures to reduce the risk of
power being restored by another person while you are working on the system.
WARNING: Never remove any safeguarding and never
make changes in the system that will decommission a
safeguard.
WARNING: Only qualified service personnel may install
or service the robot system.
