Atmospheric Single-Arm Robot Manual
4000-0016 Rev A
15
The robot system safety enclosure is sized to encircle the furthest
extension of the robot arm:
No person shall be allowed within the enclosure during testing and startup.
Equipe recommends that you activate the robot from outside the restricted
envelope. This can be done in one of these ways:
• Configure the equipment so that the robot-control panel or any
actuating controls are outside the restricted envelope.
• Build an enclosure for the robot and locate all controls outside this
enclosure.
Lockout/Tagout
Equipe recommends that you use a Lockout/Tagout method to prevent
anyone from reconnecting power without assistance from service
personnel.
The robotic system is not intended to be a stand-alone unit. Equipe
recommends that the robot be installed only in a host system with
lockout/tagout provisions. That is, each installation requires a device to
shut off power to the robot that is located outside the restricted envelope
and has a lockout/tagout capability.
The end user must comply with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 (Control of
Hazardous Energies, Lockout/Tagout) and 29 CFR 1910.331-335
(Electrical Safety-Related Work Practices) as related to lockout/tagout.
