2Fundamental Safety Instructions
2.1Intended Use
The RECBi is designed to generate a pneumatic vacuum for gripping and transporting objects when used
in conjunction with vacuum grippers.
The product has been specially developed for (cooperative/collaborative) use on robot systems in combi-
nation with the quick-change system MATCH.
The goods to be lifted must be dry, airtight, rigid and have a smooth surface. Non-airtight or unstable ob-
jects must be tested for suitability before they are handled with a vacuum.
Neutral gases in accordance with EN983 are approved as evacuation media. Neutral gases include air, ni-
trogen and inert gases (e.g. argon, xenon and neon).
The intended use of the product is for time-limited gripping, handling and holding in enclosed spaces. It
must always be mounted on heat-dissipating materials.
The product is built in accordance with the latest standards of technology and is delivered in a safe oper-
ating condition; however, hazards may arise during use.
The product is intended for industrial use.
Intended use includes observing the technical data and the installation and operating instructions in this
manual.
The product may only be used with robot systems that comply with the provisions of DIN ISO/TS 15066,
DIN EN ISO 10218-1 and DIN EN ISO 10218-2.
Operation as part of a collaborative system is only permitted when the entire system meets the corre-
sponding legal requirements for collaborative robot systems. The system integrator is responsible for en-
suring that these requirements are complied with.
2.2Non-Intended Use
Schmalz does not accept any liability for any direct or indirect losses or damages that result from using
the product. This applies, in particular, to any use of the product that is not in accordance with the in-
tended purpose and to any use that is not described or mentioned in this documentation.
In particular, the following are considered non-intended use:
1. Use in potentially explosive atmospheres
2. Direct contact with perishable goods/food products
2.3Personnel Qualification
Unqualified personnel cannot recognize dangers and are therefore exposed to higher risks!
The operating company must ensure the following points:
• The personnel must be commissioned for the activities described in these
operating instructions.
• The staff must be at least 18 years of age and physically and mentally capa-
ble.
• The operating staff have been instructed in the operation of the product
and have read and understood the operating instructions.
• Installation, maintenance, and repairs must be carried out only by specialists
or by persons who can prove that they have undergone appropriate train-
ing.
