Warning
Do not place a testing system offline from
computer control without first ensuring that
no actuator or crosshead movement will oc-
cur upon transfer to manual control.
The actuator or crosshead will immediately respond to
manual control settings when the system is placed off-
line from computer control. Before transferring to man-
ual control, make sure that the control settings are such
that unexpected actuator or crosshead movement cannot
occur.
Keep clear of the operating envelope of a
robotic device unless the device is de-acti-
vated.
The robot in an automated testing system presents a haz-
ard because its movements are hard to predict. The robot
can go instantly from a waiting state to high speed opera-
tion in several axes of motion. During system operation ,
keep away from the operating envelope of the robot. De-
activate the robot before entering the envelope for any
purpose, such as reloading the specimen magazine.
