2.6.3 Disabling Power to the System using lock out / tag out
The power connection for the Robot Controller should be such that it can be locked and
tagged in the off position to prevent anyone from turning ON power while someone else
is in the safeguarded area.
UL-compliant Controller (RC700-A-UL):
Perform lockout using the following procedure.
A padlock for lockout should be prepared by users.
Applicable shackle diameter: 4.0 to 6.5 mm
(1) Remove a fixing screw of the lockout bracket A by hand.
(2) Rotate the lockout bracket A.
(3) Set the screw removed in the step (1) to the lockout
bracket B so as not to lose it.
(4) Put a padlock through the holes of the lockout brackets A
and B to lock.
2.6.4 End Effector Design
Provide wiring and piping that will prevent the robot end effector from releasing the
object held (the work piece) when the robot system power is shut off.
Design the robot end effector such that its weight and moment of inertia do not exceed the
allowable limits. Use of values that exceed the allowable limits can subject the robot to
excessive loads. This will not only shorten the service life of the robot but can lead to
unexpectedly dangerous situations due to additional external forces applied to the end
effector and the work piece.
Design the size of the end effector with care, since the robot body and robot end effector
can interfere with each other.
