Safety measures for the system

Since the robot is commonly used in conjunction with an automated system, dangerous
situations are more likely to occur from the automated system than from the robot
itself. Accordingly, appropriate safety measures must be taken on the part of the system
manufacturer according to the individual system. The system manufacturer should provide
a proper instruction manual for safe, correct operation and servicing of the system.
