Sound Emissions
The sound emission level of the Adept Cobra s-series robot depends on the speed and
payload. The maximum value is 90dB. (This is at maximum
AUTO
-mode speed.)
2.10 Thermal Hazard
2.11 Working Areas
Adept robots have a Manual and an Automatic (
AUTO
) operating mode. While in
Automatic Mode, personnel are not allowed in the workcell.
In Manual Mode, operators with additional safety equipment (see
) are allowed to work in the robot workcell. For safety reasons the operator should,
whenever possible, stay outside of the robot work envelope to prevent injury. The
maximum speed and power of the robot is reduced but it could still cause injury to the
operator.
Before performing maintenance in the working envelope of the robot, High Power must
be switched off and the power supply of the robot must be disconnected. After these
precautions, a skilled person is allowed to maintain the robot. See
for the
specifications.
WARNING:
Acoustic emission from this robot may be up
to 90dB (A) under worst-case conditions. Typical values
will be lower, depending on payload, speed, acceleration,
and mounting. Appropriate safety measures should be
taken, such as ear protection and display of a warning
sign.
WARNING:
You can burn yourself. Do not touch the robot
base or outer link shortly after the robot has been running
at high ambient temperatures (40-50°C) (104-122°F) or at
fast cycle times (over 60 cycles per minute). The robot
skin/surface temperature can exceed 85°C (185°F).
WARNING:
Never remove any safeguarding and never
make changes in the system that will decommission a
safeguard.
