to form machinery, and this machinery complies with the terms of the EC Ma-
chinery Directive, and the EC declaration of conformity is present in accord-
ance with Annex II A.
The declaration of incorporation, together with its annexes, remains with the
system integrator as an integral part of the technical documentation of the
complete machinery.
5.1.4 Terms used
5.2 Personnel
The following persons or groups of persons are defined for the industrial robot:
User
Personnel
Term Description
Axis range Range of each axis, in degrees or millimeters, within which it may move.
The axis range must be defined for each axis.
Stopping distance Stopping distance = reaction distance + braking distance
The stopping distance is part of the danger zone.
Workspace The manipulator is allowed to move within its workspace. The work-
space is derived from the individual axis ranges.
Operator
(User)
The user of the industrial robot can be the management, employer or
delegated person responsible for use of the industrial robot.
Danger zone The danger zone consists of the workspace and the stopping distances.
KCP The KCP (KUKA Control Panel) teach pendant has all the operator con-
trol and display functions required for operating and programming the
industrial robot.
Manipulator The robot arm and the associated electrical installations
Safety zone The safety zone is situated outside the danger zone.
Stop category 0 The drives are deactivated immediately and the brakes are applied. The
manipulator and any external axes (optional) perform path-oriented
braking.
Note: This stop category is called STOP 0 in this document.
Stop category 1 The manipulator and any external axes (optional) perform path-main-
taining braking. The drives are deactivated after 1 s and the brakes are
applied.
Note: This stop category is called STOP 1 in this document.
Stop category 2 The drives are not deactivated and the brakes are not applied. The
manipulator and any external axes (optional) are braked with a normal
braking ramp.
Note: This stop category is called STOP 2 in this document.
System integrator
(plant integrator)
System integrators are people who safely integrate the industrial robot
into a complete system and commission it.
T1 Test mode, Manual Reduced Velocity (<= 250 mm/s)
T2 Test mode, Manual High Velocity (> 250 mm/s permissible)
External axis Motion axis which is not part of the manipulator but which is controlled
using the robot controller, e.g. KUKA linear unit, turn-tilt table, Posiflex.
All persons working with the industrial robot must have read and understood
the industrial robot documentation, including the safety chapter.
