Rules concerning the robot's work area
The controlled area or isolation area in which the robot moves must be determined using protective devices
(protective elements).
Note:
Protective elements are devices protecting persons from a dangerous area. See the
standards currently in force concerning safety for industrial handling equipment.
DANGER:
At the time of an emergency stop, the final position of the arm can never be
determined precisely because of the kinetic energy involved. It is thus
necessary to make sure that no persons or obstructions are present in the
robot's work area when the arm is powered up.
