Introduction
1.2 System Overview
ArcWorld 50/50S/52/52S
Each station also includes a heavy duty, motor driven safety barrier
located in front of each station to protect the operator from weld flash or
other debris and prevents entry into the Robot work area during Robot
operation. Robot travel is limited by the Functional Safety Unit.
Safeguards for the system complement the operation while protecting
people that will program, operate, and/or provide maintenance. Possible
hazards from the risk assessment process determines needed safeguards
and interlocks. While the system design safeguards the support staff, it
does not protect against misuse. Misuse of the system includes, but is not
limited to, climbing over/under barriers, climbing over/under interlocked
doors, or disabling/bypassing system interlocks.
During the installation and commissioning process the end user must
ensure tooling and other equipment do not cause additional hazards. This
evaluation ensures that the system will provide safe and reliable
operation. The Risk Assessment document should be reviewed before
installation of the system and prior to operation. Any changes and
additions to the system require a full review of the Risk Assessment
document.
