The TM Robot must be used according to its intended use.
Read Manual and Impact Warning Labels

Medium & Heavy Payload Series-Hardware Installation Manual TM12/14 Series Hardware Version: 3.2 12
Results of the risk assessment may require the use of additional risk reduction measures.
Power to the robot and its power supply must be locked out and tagged out or have means to control
hazardous energy or implement energy isolation before any maintenance is performed.
Dispose of the product in accordance with the relevant rules and regulations of the country or area
where the product is used.
2.4 Validation and Liability
The information contained herein neither includes how to design, install, and operate a complete robotic arm
system, nor involves the peripherals that may affect the safety of the complete system. The integrators of the robot
should understand the safety laws and regulations in their countries and prevent hazards from occurring in the
complete system.
This includes but is not limited to:
Risk assessment of the whole system
Adding other machines and additional risk reduction measures based on the results of the risk assessment
Using appropriate software safety features
Ensuring Users will not modify any safety measures
Ensuring all systems are correctly designed and installed
Clearly labeling user instructions
Clearly marking the contact information for the integrator
Making relevant documents accessible, including the risk assessment, and this manual
CAUTION:
This product is a partly complete machine. The design and installation of the complete system
must comply with the safety standards and regulations in the country of use. Users and
integrators of the robot should understand the safety laws and regulations in their countries
and prevent major hazards from occurring in the complete system.
2.5 Limitations on Liability
Even if the safety instructions are followed, any safety information in the manual shall not be considered as a
guarantee that the product will not cause any personal injury or property damage.
2.6 General Safety Warning
1. The noise measured in a factory setting is about 49.3 dB (A) without production. (Measured 1m from the robot
and 1.6m above the floor, at 80% of maximum speed). If the sound pressure is over 80 dB(A) while operating,
wear proper ear protection.
2. Environmental Conditions:

Medium & Heavy Payload Series-Hardware Installation Manual TM12/14 Series Hardware Version: 3.2 13
Ambient air temperature: 0˚C ~ +50˚C
Ambient relative humidity: < 85%
Transportation & Storage condition: -20˚C ~ +60˚C
Transportation & Storage humidity: < 75%
The robot needs to be protected from shock or vibration
Observe ESD precautions when installing or removing robot
2.7 Risk Assessment
Before installing or using this product, Users must first carry out the necessary risk assessment based on the
conditions of use, and pay attention to the potential remaining risk addressed by the Corporation. Refer to and
abide by the relevant chapters in Safety Manual in accordance with its software and hardware version.
2.8 Emergency Stop
If any accidents occur during the operation of the robot, Users can stop all movement by pressing the Emergency
Stop switch. When the robot stops, Users must ensure that all hazards are eliminated before manually restarting
the robot. The Emergency Stop switch is only for use in critical conditions. To stop the robot during normal
operations use the Stop Button on the system controller. When Users presses the Emergency Stop switch, the TM
Robot will disconnect power from the robot and activate the brakes after the robot motion is stopped. The
indication light ring of the robot will not display light, and the three lights from the robot stick will be constantly
blinking.
Once the risk assessment has been conducted, if an Emergency Stop switch needs to be installed, the selected
device must comply with the requirements of IEC 60204-1. After an Emergency Stop, factory reset, or any other
safety incident, refer and abide by the relevant chapters in Safety Manual in accordance with its software and
hardware version.
2.9 Movement without Drive Power
Robot without Drive Power could be found in three circumstances: Emergency stop, when disengaging packaging
posture to initial booting, and power loss. The first two could enter Safe Start up Mode by means of releasing the
Emergency Switch; the latter one is when robot loses external power. Regarding how to operate as well as safety
precautions refer and abide by the relevant chapters in the Safety Manual.
If the robot loses power, and joints need to be moved in order to clear error conditions, you will need to release
the brake for each joint as follows:
1. Remove joint cover screws (M3, Torx-T10) and joint cover.
