1.3.3. SAFETY DIRECTIVES CONCERNING TO STAFF PROTECTION
STÄUBLI robots work with computer controlled mechanisms, capable of moving at high speed and exerting
considerable force. Like all robots and most industrial equipment, they must be controlled with great care
by the user of the robot cell. All staff using STÄUBLI robots must be familiar with the warnings and
recommendations given in this manual.
Mechanical and electrical dangers.
• Do not connect or disconnect components while the unit is under power. The connection between the
controller and the robot arm can only be made if the controller has been switched off.
• The arm must not be loaded during maintenance operations.
Figure 1.1
DANGER:
Disconnect all the electrical and pneumatic power supplies before carrying out
any work on the controller or the arm.
DANGER:
Each time the arm is powered on, keep one hand close to the "Emergency stop"
button in order to be able to press it as quickly as possible in the event of a
problem.
DANGER:
All persons are prohibited from remaining in the isolation area in which the robot
arm operates. Certain robot working modes such as the "brake release" mode
can lead to unforeseeable arm movements.
