Bolt Junior Quick Start Guide

Safety procedures for using industrial robots,
including high speed track
Note that the words
Robot
and
Rig
are completely interchangeable and
identical in meaning, for the purposes of this document.
Motion Control rigs are potentially dangerous. It is important that you
and everyone else on the set understand the safety notes on the following
pages in order to stay safe.
You should use this document in addition to the normal Safety Manual
instructions that are applicable to all motion control rigs, such as Milos.
This section emphasises the safety concerns that are especially important
around high-speed, high-acceleration, industrial-grade robots which can
cause severe injuries, such as Bolt Junior.
Unlike traditional motion control equipment, Bolt Junior can
get to maximum speed in the blink of an eye - too fast for
someone to be able to quickly move out of the way.
You need to take extra steps during installation and use due to
the additional risks involved in using track. See the separate
Precision Track Quick Start Guide
for information on laying the
track, securing it to the floor, and mounting Bolt Junior onto it.
The notes given below for track users are marked with this
symbol:
.
It is ultimately the
operator
of the rig who is responsible for
the safe use of the equipment so never bypass any of the safety
points listed here.
No one other than a highly trained operator should use the
robot, no matter how simple it looks or is.
This document is for the use of robots for carrying cameras or
props, not people. Additional safety steps should be taken prior
to using a rig to carry people.
