Risk Assessment<br />

2.4 Risk Assessment<br />

Without special safeguards in its control system, the <strong>Adept</strong> <strong>Quattro</strong> <strong>s650H</strong> robot could<br />

inflict serious injury on an operator working within its work envelope. Safety standards in<br />

some countries require appropriate safety equipment to be installed as part of the system.<br />

Table 2-2 lists some of the safety standards that affect industrial robots. It is not a complete<br />

list. Safeguards must comply with all applicable local and national standards for the<br />

location where the robot is installed.<br />

Assessment<br />

Exposure<br />

When Arm Power is ON, all personnel must be kept out of the robot work envelope by<br />

interlocked perimeter barriers. The only permitted exception is for teaching the robot in<br />

Manual Mode by a skilled person (see “Qualification of Personnel” on page 32), who must<br />

wear safety equipment (see “Safety Equipment for Operators” on page 33) and carry the<br />

<strong>Adept</strong> pendant. Therefore, exposure of personnel to hazards related to the robot is limited<br />

(seldom and/or short exposure time).<br />

Severity of Injury<br />

Provided that skilled personnel who enter the robot work envelope are wearing<br />

protective headgear, eyeglasses, and safety shoes, it is likely that any injuries caused by<br />

the robot would be slight (normally reversible).<br />

Avoidance<br />

A programmer must always carry the pendant when inside the work envelope, as the<br />

pendant provides both E-Stop and Enabling switch functions.<br />

For normal operation (AUTO mode), user-supplied interlocked guarding must be installed<br />

to prevent any person entering the workcell while arm power is ON.<br />
