Faulty components must be replaced using new components with the
same article numbers or equivalent components approved by the manu-
facturer for this purpose.
Cleaning and preventive maintenance work is to be carried out in accord-
ance with the operating instructions.
Robot controller
Even when the robot controller is switched off, parts connected to periph-
eral devices may still carry voltage. The external power sources must
therefore be switched off if work is to be carried out on the robot control-
ler.
The ESD regulations must be adhered to when working on components in
the robot controller.
Voltages in excess of 50 V (up to 600 V) can be present in various com-
ponents for several minutes after the robot controller has been switched
off! To prevent life-threatening injuries, no work may be carried out on the
industrial robot in this time.
Water and dust must be prevented from entering the robot controller.
Counterbalancing system
Some robot variants are equipped with a hydropneumatic, spring or gas
cylinder counterbalancing system.
•
Counterbalancing system classified below category I
: is subject to
the Pressure Equipment Directive but exempt from application of the
Pressure Equipment Directive according to Art. 4, para. 3 and there-
fore not CE marked.
•
Counterbalancing system classified as category I or higher
: is
subject to the Pressure Equipment Directive and CE marked as a
component (see rating plate of the counterbalancing system). The
pressure equipment is placed on the market in conjunction with partly
completed machinery. Conformity is expressed on the declaration of
incorporation according to the Machinery Directive.
The user must comply with the applicable national laws, regulations and
standards pertaining to pressure equipment.
• In Germany, the counterbalancing system is work equipment according
to the German Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health (BetrSichV).
Inspection intervals in Germany in accordance with the Ordinance on
Industrial Safety and Health, Sections 14 and 15. Inspection by the
user before commissioning at the installation site.
• Inspection intervals in all other countries must be researched and ob-
served. As a rule, however, at least the maintenance intervals speci-
fied by KUKA must be observed. Shorter intervals are not permitted.
The following safety measures must be carried out when working on the
counterbalancing system:
• The assemblies supported by the counterbalancing systems must be
secured.
• Work on the counterbalancing systems must only be carried out by
qualified personnel.
Hazardous substances
The following safety measures must be carried out when handling hazard-
ous substances:
• Avoid prolonged and repeated intensive contact with the skin.
• Avoid breathing in oil spray or vapors.
