5.5 Overview of protective equipment
The protective equipment of the mechanical component may include:
G Mechanical end stops
G Mechanical axis range limitation (optional)
G Axis range monitoring (optional)
G Release device (optional)
G Labeling of danger areas
Not all equipment is relevant for every mechanical component.
5.5.1 Mechanical end stops
Depending on the robot variant, the axis ranges of the main and wrist axes of the manipulator
are partially limited by mechanical end stops.
Additional mechanical end stops can be installed on the external axes.
Notice!
If the manipulator or an external axis hits an obstruction or a mechanical end
stop or axis range limitation, this can result in material damage to the industrial
robot. The manipulator must be taken out of operation and KUKA Roboter GmbH
must be consulted before it is put back into operation.
