Chapter 3 - Safety
3.1. REMINDER CONCERNING THE SAFETY STANDARDS
The robot is a sub-assembly designed for integration in a robot cell. It has been designed and built to enable the
"robot cell" unit to comply with regulatory provisions. Compliance of the robot cell is the responsibility of the prime
contractor who very frequently is the owner.
The user must make sure that the staff programming, operating, maintaining or repairing the robot or the robot cell
are correctly trained and show the skills necessary to carry out these tasks in full safety.
In France, for example, posters issued by the CRAM are available to remind operators of the safety rules
applicable in the vicinity of robot stations.
The electrical equipment of the robot and the robot cell must comply with standard EN 60204-1 and specific
standards if required, such as UL1740.
The characteristics of the power supply and the grounding terminals must comply with the manufacturers'
specifications.
The robot and its controller are designed to meet a "Category III" safety level.
Standards applicable
Installation of the robot must be planned in accordance with the standard instructions.
DANGER:
The robot is a fast moving machine. These movements can be dangerous. Always
comply with the safety standards recommended for robot use and inform operators
about the dangers faced.
