Chapter 2 - Safety
2.3 Precautions and Required Safeguards
This manual must be read by all personnel who install, operate, or maintain <strong>Adept</strong>
systems, or who work within or near the workcell.
WARNING: <strong>Adept</strong> Technology strictly prohibits
installation, <strong>com</strong>missioning, or operation of an <strong>Adept</strong>
robot without adequate safeguards according to
applicable local and national standards. Installations in EU
and EEA countries must <strong>com</strong>ply with EN 775/ISO 10218,
especially sections 5,6; EN 292-2; and EN 60204-1,
especially section 13.
Safety Barriers
Safety barriers must be an integral part of robot workcell design. <strong>Adept</strong> systems are
<strong>com</strong>puter-controlled and may activate remote devices under program control at times or
along paths not anticipated by personnel. It is critical that safeguards be in place to
prevent personnel from entering the workcell whenever equipment power is present.
The robot system integrator, or end user, must ensure that adequate safeguards, safety
barriers, light curtains, safety gates, safety floor mats, etc., will be installed. The robot
workcell must be designed according to the applicable local and national standards (see
Section 2.7 on page 28).
The safe distance to the robot depends on the height of the safety fence. The height and
the distance of the safety fence from the robot must ensure that personnel cannot reach the
danger zone of the robot.
The <strong>Adept</strong> control system has features that aid the user in constructing system safeguards,
including customer emergency stop circuitry and digital input and output lines. The
emergency power-off circuitry is capable of switching external power systems, and can be
interfaced to the appropriate user-supplied safeguards.
Impact and Trapping Points
<strong>Adept</strong> robots are capable of moving at high speeds. If a person is struck by a robot
(impacted) or trapped (pinched), death or serious injury could occur. <strong>Robot</strong> configuration,
joint speed, joint orientation, and attached payload all contribute to the total amount of
energy available to cause injury.
