1  SAFETY INFORMATION 

This section describes the necessary safety information and precautions relevant to the setup and operation of 
the Reach Bravo manipulator system. To ensure correct and safe use of Blueprint Lab manipulators, carefully 
read this section and make yourself well acquainted with the contents. Follow any warnings and cautions 
included. In conjunction with this manual, it is important that the users have knowledge of safety 
considerations and make correct judgments on safety procedures during operation. 

Reach Bravo manipulators are highly dexterous, electromechanical devices that can move with a high degree 
of freedom. Failure to take necessary safety measures or mishandling due to not following the instructions in 
this technical supplement may result in damage to the robot or injury to personnel. 

1.1  CRUSH POINTS AND COLLISION HAZARDS 

Crush hazards exist on the Reach Bravo in locations where two limbs can compress 
together as well as in the jaws of the grabber stage of the manipulator. It is important 
that the operator ensures the working area of the manipulator is clear prior to 
operation. 

 

 

 

1.2  SHOCK HAZARD 

 

There should be no attempt made to remove the external housing of the manipulator to 
expose the internal circuitry. Doing so could cause injury or fatality by electrical shock.
