Installation - Epson C8 Series Manipulator Manual

3.4 Installation

The installation shall be made by qualified installation personnel and should conform to all
national and local codes.
■ To ensure safety, a safeguard must be installed for the robot system. For details
on the safeguard, refer to the Installation and Design Precautions in the Safety
chapter of the EPSON RC+ User's Guide.
■ Install the Manipulator in a location with sufficient space so that a tool or a work
piece does not touch a wall or a safeguard when the Manipulator extends its arm
fully while holding a work piece. Installing the Manipulator at a location with
insufficient space is extremely hazardous and may result in serious bodily injury
and/or severe equipment damage to the robot system as a tool or a work piece
may collide with a wall or a safeguard.
■ Anchor the Manipulator before turning ON the power to or operating the
WARNING
Manipulator. Turning ON the power to or operating the Manipulator that is not
anchored is extremely hazardous and may result in serious bodily injury and/or
severe equipment damage to the robot system as the Manipulator may fall down.
■ Before installing and operating the Manipulator, make sure that all parts of the
Manipulator are in place and have no external defects. Missing or defective parts
may cause improper operation of the Manipulator. Improper operation of the
Manipulator is extremely hazardous and may result in serious bodily injury and/or
severe equipment damage to the robot system.
■ The Manipulator must be installed to avoid interference with buildings, structures,
utilities, other machines and equipment that may create a trapping hazard or pinch
points.
