Risk Assessment
Without special safeguards in its control system, the Adept Cobra s350 robot could inflict
serious injury on an operator working within its work envelope. Safety standards in
several countries require appropriate safety equipment to be installed as part of the
system.
lists some of the safety standards that affect industrial robots. It is
not
a
complete list. Safeguards must comply with
all
applicable local and national standards for
the location where the robot is installed.
Adept has performed a Risk Assessment for this product, based on the intended
applications of the robot. The conclusions are summarized below.
Exposure
When Arm Power is on, all personnel must be kept out of the robot work envelope by
interlocked perimeter barriers. The only permitted exception is for teaching the robot in
Manual Mode by a skilled programmer (see
“Qualification of Personnel” on page 26
),
who must wear safety equipment (see
“Safety Equipment for Operators” on page 27
)
and carry the pendant (T1 or MCP). Therefore, exposure of personnel to hazards related to
the robot is limited (seldom and/or short exposure time).
Severity of Injury
Provided that skilled personnel who enter the robot work envelope are wearing protective
headgear, eyeglasses, and safety shoes, it is likely that any injuries caused by the robot
would be slight (normally reversible).
