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 a limit switch, photo switch or 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 close contact (closed in normal operation) with
compulsive opening function and must not be automatically recovered.
