WARNING
The Reach Alpha presents multiple crush and/or cut hazards: in the jaws or end-effector,
and at any point where two limbs can compress together. When cutter jaws are installed,
the operator must ensure that the working area of the manipulator is clear prior to
operation.
CAUTION
When bench-testing or operating the Alpha in a human environment, it is strongly
recommended that the following safety procedures are adhered to:
• Install and operate the unit below head height
• Wear safety goggles when installing or working closely to the manipulator
• Include an easily accessible E-stop button in the power circuit
• Avoid physical interaction with the end-effector or limbs to prevent crush and/or cut
hazards
• Install barriers/signage to prevent untrained personnel from entering the
manipulator workspace
• Implement stop, speed and separation monitoring and torque limiting to reduce the
risk of human contact and injury
