2.2.3. Risk of tipping / stability
Risk of tipping
When the robot is not fastened to the foundation and standing still, the robot is not stable in
the whole working area. Moving the arms will displace the center of gravity, which may cause
the robot to tip over.
Do not
change the robot position before securing it to the foundation!
Stabililty
The figure below shows the robot in its shipping position, which also is its most stable
position.
