1.2 SAFETY OF THE TOOLS AND PERIPHERAL DEVICES
1.2.1 Precautions in Programming
(1) Use a limit switch or other sensor to detect a dangerous
condition and, if necessary, design the program to stop the robot
when the sensor signal is received.
(2) Design the program to stop the robot when an abnormal
condition occurs in any other robots or peripheral devices, even
though the robot itself is normal.
(3) For a system in which the robot and its peripheral devices are in
synchronous motion, particular care must be taken in
programming so that they do not interfere with each other.
(4) Provide a suitable interface between the robot and its peripheral
devices so that the robot can detect the states of all devices in the
system and can be stopped according to the states.
1.2.2 Precautions for Mechanism
(1) Keep the component cells of the robot system clean, and operate
the robot in an environment free of grease, water, and dust.
(2) Employ a limit switch or mechanical stopper to limit the robot
motion so that the robot does not come into contact with its
peripheral devices or tools.
