II. Safety for robots(Details)
(1) For the safety of workers, be sure to wear a helmet, safety shoes, etc.
(2) When before turn on the power, check that there is no people within the area of robot
motion and then operate the robot.
(3) When entering into the area of the robot motion for maintenance or inspection, be
sure to power OFF the robot.
(4) If a cable of the robot is installed in a pathway, prevent the cable from damage by using
a cover or a duct.
(5) As soon as the cable damage is found, replace it immediately.
(6) Do not operate the robot under the load exceeding nominal weight.
(7) Be sure to fully understand the instruction manual before operating the robot.
(8) In the case of installing a safety net
①Give it sufficient strength to withstand reactions that occur during work, or
environmental conditions, and do not have it be easily moved, destroyed, or
climbed.
②Remove the dangerous parts, such as sharp edges or burr.
③Firmly fix it.
④If you are installing a safety net having a door, install a detector or other sensors
so that the robot is stopped immediately after the door is opened.
⑤The safety net must be distanced by 40 cm or farther from robot motion area
and the robot body.

III. Safety Function
(1) Definition of safety functions.
①Emergency Stop Function –IEC 204-1,10,7
There is one emergency stop switch on the controller and the teach pendant. The
emergency stop function is a function that has priority over all control functions of the
robot. It stops the power supply of each axis of the robot, stops the operating state, and
removes the power so that other dangerous functions controlled by the robot cannot be
used.
②Safe stop function –EN SIO 10218-1:2006
A safety stop circuit must be configured, and each robot must allow the safety device and
interlock to be connected through this circuit. The robot must have a number of electrical
input signals so that it can be connected to and used with external safety devices such as
safety gates, safety pads, and safety lights. These signals enable the robot to perform the
safety functions of the robot itself and from all facilities such as peripheral equipment.
③Speed limit function –EN ISO 10218-1:2006
In the manual operation mode, the robot speed is limited to a maximum of 250 mm/s.
The speed limit applies to all parts of the robot that performs manual operation as well
as JOG.
④Restriction of operation area –ANSI/RIA R15.06-1999
The motion area of each axis is limited by the soft limit. In addition, it is a function to limit
the operation area even by a mechanical stopper.
⑤Selection of operation mode –ANSI/RIA R15.06-1999
The robot can be operated in manual or automatic mode. In manual mode, the robot is
operated only by the teach pendant.
(2) Safety electric circuit
The robot's safety system consists of a double safety electric circuit that continuously monitors
its condition.
If an error is detected, the motor power is cut off immediately and the motor brake is activated.
To return to the motor ON state, all switches of the double electric circuit must be connected.
If any one of the double switches of the safety circuit is shorted, the motor contact is cut off
and the brake is activated to stop the robot.
Make sure that safety circuits are never ignored, modified or altered in any way.
