1.3.1 Safety risks during installation and service work
Overview
This section includes information of general safety risks to be considered when
performing installation and service work on FlexPLP device.
General risks during installation and service
•
The instructions in the Product Manual - Installation and Commissioning
must always be followed.
•
Emergency stop buttons must be positioned in easily accessible places so
that the FlexPLP device can be stopped quickly.
•
Those in charge of operations must make sure that safety instructions are
available for the installation in question.
•
Those who install the FlexPLP device must have the appropriate training for
the FlexPLP device system in question and in any safety matters associated
with it.
Nation/region specific regulations
To prevent injuries and damage during the installation of the FlexPLP device, the
regulations applicable in the country concerned and the instructions of ABB
Robotics must be complied with.
Non-voltage related risks
•
Safety zones, which have to be crossed before admittance, must be set up
in front of the FlexPLP's working space. Light beams or sensitive mats are
suitable devices.
•
Turntables or the like should be used to keep the operator out of the FlexPLP's
working space.
•
The axes are affected by the force of gravity when the brakes are released.
In addition to the risk of being hit by moving FlexPLP parts, you run the risk
of being crushed by the FlexPLP axes.
•
When dismantling/assembling mechanical units, watch out for falling objects.
•
Be aware of stored heat energy in the controller.
•
Never use the FlexPLP device as a ladder, i.e. do not climb on the device or
other part during service work. There is a serious risk of slipping because
of the high temperature of the motors or oil spills that can occur on the device.
To be observed by the supplier of the complete system
•
The supplier of the complete system must ensure that all circuits used in the
safety function are interlocked in accordance with the applicable standards
for that function.
