Toshiba TH650A - Safety Measures

TRANSPORTATION AND INSTALLATION MANUAL
3.5 Safety Measures
a) When installing the robot, provide sufficient space to carry out the work safely.
b) Clarify the hazard zone, and provide a safety fence so that other persons cannot
enter the zone easily. The hazard zone is the zone near the robot's working
space where a hazardous state could occur if a person enters.
c) Provide limit switches, photo switches, foot switch, etc., at the entrance of the
safety fence to provide an emergency stop function that will stop the robot if a
person enters the hazard zone. The emergency stop function should be an
electrically independent normal close contact (closed in normal operation) with
compulsive opening function and must not be automatically recovered.
d) The controller should be installed at a place outside the hazard zone where the
operator can view the robot movement.
