2.4 Hazardous Energy
2.4.1 Overview
Stored energy is a potential source of danger in many industrial settings. When energy is stored in
machines or equipment, it can cause serious injury or death if it is released unexpectedly. This type of
hazard is commonly known as hazardous stored energy, and it can take many forms, including electrical,
hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, and mechanical energy.
Some common examples of hazardous stored energy include:
• A compressed air cylinder that has not been properly vented before maintenance or repair work is
performed
• A hydraulic cylinder that has not been properly locked out before maintenance or repair work is
performed
• A battery that is still connected to a piece of equipment, even though the equipment has been
shut down
• A piece of machinery that is still moving, even though the power has been turned o
To protect workers from hazardous stored energy, it is important to follow proper lockout/tag-out pro-
cedures. Lockout/tag-out procedures involve shutting o the energy source, isolating the equipment,
and securing it with a lock or tag to prevent accidental startup. Before any maintenance or repair
work is performed on equipment, workers should always verify that the equipment is properly locked
out/tagged out.
/pagebreak
Additionally, workers should receive proper training on lockout/tag-out procedures and the potential
hazards associated with hazardous stored energy. They should understand the importance of following
these procedures to prevent injuries and fatalities. Employers should also regularly review and update
their lockout/tag-out procedures to ensure that they are eective and up-to-date with the latest safety
standards.
Remember, hazardous stored energy can be deadly if not properly controlled. By following proper
lockout/tag-out procedures and receiving proper training, workers can stay safe on the job and pre-
vent accidents from occurring. /pagebreak
2.4.2 Hazardous Energy in Standard Bots System
Several types of stored energy can exist in a system utilizing a Standard Bots robot:
Electrical: The Standard Bots control box utilizes 120 VAC power as a primary means of power. The
control box utilizes electrical devices such as capacitors which store electrical energy even after the
control box has been unplugged from the power source. There are no serviceable parts inside Standard
Bots control box and it should not be opened except by trained Standard Bots Employees.
14

Additionally, the Standard Bots RO1 robot also contains capacitors to store electrical energy. The robot
should not be opened except by Standard Bots personnel. In some cases it may be required to open the
joint caps of the robot. This should only be done after the control box power source has been unplugged
for at least 2 minutes, and should only be done while following explicit instructions from Standard Bots
personnel.
Mechanical: The Standard Bots RO1 is capable of lifting 39 lbs (18kg). If the robot is stopped mid cycle
and currently has a workpiece in the end of arm tool, a hazard will be present as the workpiece could
unexpectedly fall if the source providing the clamping force is de-energized. Always exercise caution
and remove the workpiece from the end of arm tool when approaching the robot.
Pneumatic: The RO1 is compatible with a variety of pneumatic accessories. Stored energy exists in
the form of compressed air in pneumatic systems. Bodily or hearing injury can occur from accidentally
releasing compressed air from pneumatic systems while performing maintenance. Unexpected motion
can occur from components when working on energized pneumatic systems. All compressed air should
be removed from the system before performing maintenance on any pneumatic system.
2.4.3 Performing a Lockout
Should a lockout of the Standard Bots RO1 be required, unplug the AC input cord and use a plug lockout
with appropriate lock. Follow all standard lockout tag-out procedures.
If applicable, also lock out any compressed air sources to devices integrated with the RO1 using stan-
dard lockout tag-out procedures.
15

2.5 Anti-Gravity Mode
The RO1 has functionality allowing the user to move the robot to a desired position by manually moving
the physical robot instead of jogging the robot with the pendant.
When Anti-Gravity mode is engaged, the robot will compensate for its own weight and set payload to
maintain its position without the brakes applied. Additionally, the robot will sense external feedback
from the user moving the robot and assist with moving in the desired direction. Provided the payload
is set correctly, the robot will move with minimal force applied by the user.
The procedure for using the anti-gravity mode is as follows:

Assembly & Setup
3.1 Requirements
The RO1 has the following utilities requirements:
Utility Requirement
Electrical 90 ~ 264VAC, 47-63Hz, 15 A maximum at 120VAC.
Internet Wi-Fi or RJ45 (Ethernet) wired connection for remote updates and support.
Floor 200 PSI capacity rating. Depending on application a floor capable of supporting
lagging may be required.
3.2 Lifting the RO1
Proper lifting techniques should be observed when lifting the RO1 robot or controller. Improper lifting
can cause strains, sprains, and other serious injuries to the back, neck, shoulders, and other parts of the
body.
To lift properly, start by standing close to the object with your feet shoulder-width apart. Bend at the
knees and keep your back straight as you lift with your legs, not your back. Hold the object close to your
body and avoid twisting your body while lifting or carrying the object. If the object is too heavy, ask for
help or use equipment such as a dolly or forklift.
Remember to always warm up before lifting and take breaks when necessary to avoid fatigue. It’s also
important to wear appropriate clothing and footwear that provides adequate support.
By following these guidelines and using proper lifting techniques, you can reduce your risk of injury and
stay safe while handling heavy objects.
