2.4 Robot Behavior
Hardstops
If the eCobra Robot runs into one of its hardstops, the robot`s motion will stop completely, an
envelope error will be generated, and power will be cut to the robot motors. The robot cannot
continue to move after hitting a hardstop until the error has been cleared.
The eCobra’s hardstops are capable of completely stopping the robot at any speed, load, and
maximum or minimum extension.
Limiting Devices
There are no dynamic or electro-mechanical limiting devices provided by Omron Adept Tech-
nologies, Inc. The robot does not have safety-rated soft axis or space limiting.
However, the user can install their own safety rated (category 0 or 1) dynamic limiting devices
if needed, that comply with ISO10218-1, Clause 5.12.2.
Singularities
No singularities exist that cause a hazardous situation with an eCobra robot.
2.5 Intended and Non-intended Use
Intended Use
The normal and intended use of these robots does not create hazards. The eCobra robots have
been designed and constructed in accordance with the relevant requirements of IEC60204-1.
The eCobra robots are intended for use in parts assembly and material handling for payloads
less than 5.5 kg (12.1 lb). See Robot Specifications on page 166 for complete information on the
robot specifications. Refer to the Robot Safety Guide for details on the intended use of eCobra
robots.

WARNING: PERSONALINJURYRISK
eCobra robots are not collaborative robots. They require a dedicated work area
that will prevent personnel from coming into contact with them during oper-
ation.
Guidelines for safe use:
l
Clean, dry mounting surfaces — surfaces that are routinely kept free of debris and
liquids.
