Working Within the Robot’s Workspace
Before entering within the robot’s workspace, perform the following checks and
safety precautions.
• Visually inspect the robot to determine if any conditions exist that can cause
malfunctions or injury to persons.
• If the teach pendant controls are used, test them to ensure that they function
correctly. If any damage or malfunction is found in the teach pendant,
complete the required repairs before allowing personnel to enter within the
robot workspace.
• While programming or teaching locations, the robot system must be under the
sole control of the programmer.
• When possible, program the robot with all personnel outside the
safeguarded area.
• When programming the robot and teaching locations within the
safeguarded area, ensure that robot motion is reduced to at least 25%
speed.
• While servicing the robot arm, the robot system must be under the sole control
of the service person.
• Ensure that the robot is off-line. The arm must not be stopped in, or
running, a program.
• Ensure that the robot does not respond to any remote signals.
• Ensure that all safeguards and e-stops are functional.
• Always remove power to the arm and controller before connecting or
disconnecting cables.
• Ensure that suspended safeguards are returned to their original
effectiveness prior to initiating robot operation.
• When power to the robot arm is not required, it should be turned off.
