Dangers that Panda may present
Abstract of possible dangers
An extensive but not definitive list of dangers that generally may be presen-
ted by a robot system can be found under ISO 10218-1:2011 ANNEX A.
respectively ANSI/RIA R15.06. Special attention will be drawn here to the
following dangers that Panda may possibly present:
• Mechanical dangers
• Crushing
• by falling or tilting over of the robotic arm in particular or the
control during transport and incorrect mounting
• between robot/end effector and robot/end effector
• between robot/end effector and environment (operating area,
objects in the operating area)
• by objects falling out of the gripper
• during manual unlocking of the fail-safe safety locking system
• Shearing
• between robot/end effector and object in the end effector and
environment (operating area, objects in the operating area)
• during manual unlocking of the fail-safe safety locking system
• Impact, puncture, penetration
• between end effector/object in the end effector and humans
• Electrical hazards
• electric shock when touching live part
• when wiring the emergency off installation in particular
• when operating Panda with damaged supply cables or incorrect
electrical installation
• Environmental hazards
• Crushing, shearing, impact, puncture, penetration
• by falling caused by an earthquake
• by unexpected movements of the robot caused by earthquakes
• Combined hazards
• Crushing, shearing, impact, puncture, penetration
• by unexpected movements of the robot
