human unsafe behaviors such as "temporary negligence" and "failure to follow prescribed steps".
The "emergency situation" makes the operating staff too late to implement "emergency stop", "escape"
and other behaviors to avoid accidents, which is very likely to cause major accidents. "Emergency
situations" generally include the following.
1) The low-speed action suddenly becomes a high-speed action.
2) Other operators performed the operation.
3) A different program was started due to an abnormality or a program error in peripheral equipment.
4) Abnormal operation due to noise, malfunction, defect, etc.
5) Misoperation.
6) Originally wanted to automatically execute the action at a low speed, but executed a high-speed
action.
7) The workpieces transported by the robot fall and fall apart.
8) When the workpiece is in the stopped state of clamping and interlocking, it suddenly loses control.
9) The robot next to or behind performed the action.
The above are just some examples, and there are many forms of "emergency". In most cases, it is
impossible to "stop" or "escape" the robot that moves suddenly, so the following best countermeasures
should be implemented to avoid such accidents.
In order to abide by these principles, it is necessary to fully understand the precautions described
below and implement them effectively.
1.1.2 Safety countermeasures of robot body
The design of the robot should remove unnecessary protrusions or sharp parts, use materials suitable for the
operating environment, and adopt a fail-safe protective structure that is not prone to damage or accidents
during operation. In addition, it should be equipped with a malfunction detection stop function and an
emergency stop function when the robot is used, and an interlock function to prevent the danger of the robot
when an abnormality occurs in the peripheral equipment to ensure safe operation.
Be careful, approach the robot carefully.
When not using the robot, measures such as "pressing the emergency stop button"
and "cutting the power supply" should be taken to prevent the robot from moving.
During the operation of the robot, please configure a monitor (third party) who can
immediately press the emergency stop button to monitor the safety situation.
During the operation of the robot, the emergency stop button should be pressed
immediately.
