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.
