GENERAL CAUTIONS B--80687EN/03 6 1.3 PROGRAMMING 1.3.1 Prior to Programming Whenever possible, programming must be performed with all persons outside the safeguarded space. When it is necessary to perform programming with personnel inside the safeguarded space, the following safety procedures are necessary. The programmer must be trained on the type of robot used in the actual robot system and must be familiar with the recommended programming procedures including all of the safeguarding methods. D The programmer must visually check the robot system and safeguarded space to ensure that extraneous conditions which can cause hazardous do not exist. D Where required for programming, the teach pendant must be tested to ensure proper operation. D Any faults or failures must be corrected prior to entering the safeguarded space. Before entering the safeguarded space, the programmer must ensure that all necessary safeguards are in place and functioning. The programmer must set the operating mode T1 (or T2) from AUTO prior to entering the safeguarded space. 1.3.2 During Programming During programming, only the programmer must be allowed in the safeguarded space and the following conditions must be met. D D D The robot system must not respond to any remote commands or conditions that would cause hazardous conditions. D Movement of other equipment in the safeguarded space which can present a hazard must either be prevented or under the sole control of the programmer. When under control of the programmer, it must require deliberate action on the part of the programmer separate from the action to initiate robot motion. All robot system emergency stop devices must remain functional. D 1.3.3 Returning to Automatic Operation The robot system must be under the sole control of the programmer within the safeguarded space. (When T1 or T2 mode is selected, the robot can be moved only by the teach pendant.) The controls of the teach pendant must be used as intended. The programmer must return the suspended safeguards to their original effectiveness prior to initiating automatic operation of the robot system. 1. GENERAL CAUTIONS 7 B--80687EN/03 1.4 PROGRAM VERIFICATION When visual examination of the robot system response to the task program is necessary as part of the verification procedure, it should be made with all persons outside the safeguarded space. When it is necessary to perform program verification with personnel inside the safeguarded space, the following must apply. D Program verification must initially be performed at reduced speed. D When it is necessary to examine the movement of the robot at full (operational) speed, the following requirements must apply: -- suspension of the reduced speed by the operation mode switch (T2 mode) must be done by the programmer only; -- an enabling device or a device with an equivalent safety level must be used by personnel within the safeguarded space; -- safe working procedures are established to minimize the exposure of personnel to hazards within the safeguarded space. 1.5 TROUBLE SHOOTING 1.6 SAVING PROGRAMMED DATA Trouble shooting must be performed from outside the safeguarded space. When this is not practicable, and the design of the robot system has taken into account the necessity of performing trouble shooting from within the safeguarded space, the following requirements must apply: D personnel responsible for trouble shooting are specifically authorized and trained for these activities; D personnel entering the safeguarded space must use the teach pendant (deadman switch) to allow motion of the robot; D safe working procedures are established to minimize the exposure of personnel to hazards within the safeguarded space. Whenever possible, a record of the task programs together with any modifications should be maintained. Programmed data can be stored on a floppy disk.

Please refer to ”Setup and Operations Manual” for storing a data to a floppy disk. 1.7 AUTOMATIC OPERATION Automatic operation must only be permissible when D the intended safeguards are in place and functioning, D no personnel are present within the safeguarded space, and D proper safe working procedures are followed. 1. GENERAL CAUTIONS B--80687EN/03 8 1.8 The robot system must have an inspection and maintenance program to ensure continued safe operation of the robot system. The inspection and maintenance program must take into account the robot and robot system manufacturer’s recommendations. MAINTENANCE Personnel who perform maintenance or repair on robots or robot system must be trained in the procedures necessary to perform safely the required tasks. Personnel who maintain and repair robot systems must be safeguarded from hazards. Where possible, maintenance must be performed from outside the safeguarded space by placing the robot arm in a predetermined position. The following is the safety procedure of entering into safeguarded space for maintenance when it is necessary to perform maintenance within the safeguarded space. Procedure 1 Step Entering safeguarded space for maintenance 1 Stop the robot system. 2 Shut off the power of the robot system, and lock the main breaker to prevent powering on during maintenance working, by mistake. If you have to enter the safeguarded space while power is available to the robot system, you must do the following things prior to entering the safeguarded space: -- check the robot system to determine if any conditions exist that are likely to cause malfunctions, -- check if the teach pendant works correctly, and -- if any damage or malfunction is found, complete the required corrections and perform retest before personnel enter the safeguarded space. 3 Enter the safeguarded space (see 3.5 ”The Safety Sequence for Fence Entry”). 4 After the maintenance working, check if the safeguard system is effective. If it has been suspended to perform the maintenance working, return their original effectiveness. 1. GENERAL CAUTIONS 9 B--80687EN/03 1.9 OTHER CAUTIONS D Some robot models have some axes without brakes which prevents moving during their power being cut off. So their axes without brakes may be moved by the force of gravity when: -- cut off the power of the robot, and -- stop the robot by an emergency stop. Please be careful of their movement, especially for their wrist joints, in the above operations. For details, refer to the maintenance manual for each robot model.

SAFETY DEVICES 21 B--80687EN/03 3.4 The safeguards consists of : SAFEGUARDS D D D D safety fence (fixed guard), safety gate (with interlocking devices), safety plug and socket, and other protection devices. These safety devices must be complied with the EN775 standard. This section describes the basic requirements for these devices. Please refer to EN775 standard for detail. Note that these safety devices must be fitted to the robot system by the system house, etc.. 3.4.1 Safety Fence The requirements for Safety Fence are as follows. D The fence is constructed to withstand foreseeable operational and environmental forces. D The fence is free of sharp edges and projection and is not themselves a hazard. D The fence prevent access to the safeguarded space except through openings associated with interlocking devices. D The fence is permanently fixed in position and only be removable with the aid of a tools. D The fence cause minimum obstruction to the view of the production process. D The fence is located at an adequate distance from the maximum space. D The fence should be connected to PE(protective Earth) to prevent the electric shock with accident. Please refer to EN294, EN349, prEN547 and related standards for detail. 3.4.2 Safety Gate and Plugs The requirements for Safety Gate are as follows. D The gate prevents the robot system from automatic operation until the gate is closed. D The closure of the gate is not the control to restart automatic operation. This must be a deliberate action at a control station. D D The gate has plug and socket for interlock. The plug and socket must be selected appropriate things for safety. 3. SAFETY DEVICES B--80687EN/03 22 This gate must be the one either it remains locked closed until the risk of injury from the hazard has passed (interlocking guard with guard locking) or opening the guard while the robot system is working gives a stop or emergency stop instruction (interlocking guard). Please refer to prEN1088 and related standards for detail of interlocking system. Care should be taken to ensure that actuation of an interlock installed to protect against on hazard (e.g. stopping hazardous motion of the robot system) does not create a different hazard (e.g. the release of hazardous substances into the work zone). 3.4.3 Other Protection Devices Protection devices must be designed and incorporated into the control system so that: D moving parts cannot start up while they are within the operator’s reach, D the exposed person cannot reach moving parts once they have started up, D they can be adjusted only by means of an intentional action, such as the use of a tool, key, etc., D the absence or failure of one of their components prevents starting or stops the moving parts. If some presence sensing devices are used for safety purposes, they must comply with the following. D A presence sensing device must be installed and arranged so that persons cannot enter and reach into a hazardous area without activating the device or cannot reach the restricted space before the hazardous conditions have ceased. Barriers used in conjunction with the presence sensing device may be required to prevent persons from bypassing the device. D Their operation must not be adversely affected by any of the environmental conditions for which the system was intended. D When a presence sensing device has been activated, it may be possible to restart the robot system from the stopped position provided that this does not create other hazards. D Resumption of robot motion must require the removal of the sensing field interruption. This must not be the control to restart automatic operation. 3.
