KR C4 compact
Avoid vibrations and impacts during transportation in order to prevent damage
to the robot controller.
External axis
(optional)
The prescribed transport position of the external axis (e.g. KUKA linear unit,
turn-tilt table, positioner) must be observed. Transportation must be carried
out in accordance with the operating instructions or assembly instructions of
the external axis.
5.8.3 Start-up and recommissioning
Before starting up systems and devices for the first time, a check must be car-
ried out to ensure that the systems and devices are complete and operational,
that they can be operated safely and that any damage is detected.
The valid national or regional work safety regulations must be observed for this
check. The correct functioning of all safety functions must also be tested.
Function test The following tests must be carried out before start-up and recommissioning:
General test:
It must be ensured that:
 The industrial robot is correctly installed and fastened in accordance with
the specifications in the documentation.
 There is no damage to the robot that could be attributed to external forces.
Examples: Dents or abrasion that could be caused by an impact or colli-
sion.
 There are no foreign bodies or loose parts on the industrial robot.
 All required safety equipment is correctly installed and operational.
The passwords for the user groups must be changed in the KUKA
System Software before start-up. The passwords must only be com-
municated to authorized personnel.
The robot controller is preconfigured for the specific in-
dustrial robot. If cables are interchanged, the manipula-
tor and the external axes (optional) may receive incorrect data and can thus
cause personal injury or material damage. If a system consists of more than
one manipulator, always connect the connecting cables to the manipulators
and their corresponding robot controllers.
If additional components (e.g. cables), which are not part of the scope
of supply of KUKA Deutschland GmbH, are integrated into the indus-
trial robot, the user is responsible for ensuring that these components
do not adversely affect or disable safety functions.
If the internal cabinet temperature of the robot controller
differs greatly from the ambient temperature, condensa-
tion can form, which may cause damage to the electrical components. Do not
put the robot controller into operation until the internal temperature of the
cabinet has adjusted to the ambient temperature.
In the case of such damage, the affected components
must be exchanged. In particular, the motor and counter-
balancing system must be checked carefully.
External forces can cause non-visible damage. For example, it can lead to
a gradual loss of drive power from the motor, resulting in unintended move-
ments of the manipulator. Death, injuries or considerable damage to property
may otherwise result.
