Equipment Description
2.6 Safety Features
ArcWorld 50/50S/52/52S
2.6 Safety Features
The ArcWorld 50 Series system includes a total safety environment. When
all standard safety precautions are taken, the equipment helps to ensure
safe operation of the robotic cell. The ANSI/RIA R15.06- 2012 Robot
Safety Standard stipulates that the user is responsible for safeguarding.
2.6.1 Welding Arc Protection
One by-product of the welding arc is an intense level of ultraviolet light.
The ultraviolet light radiates outward in all directions from the weld point
whenever an arc is established. If not attenuated, the radiated ultraviolet
light can present a health risk to personnel near the welding arc.
The arc curtains block most of the ultraviolet light radiation that escapes
the work cell and protects other personnel who are nearby.
2.6.2 Safety Fencing (Standard)
The heavy-gauge, welded wire safety fencing that is provided with the
ArcWorld encloses the entire work cell. It forms a physical barrier that
prevents personnel from entering the work area during automatic
operation.
2.6.2.1 Safety Fencing (Option)
The cell can also be configured with solid panel fencing as an upgrade.
This will block more of the ultraviolet light radiation that could escape from
the work environment and also forms a physical barrier that prevents
personnel from entering the work area during automatic operation.
NOTICE
Users are responsible for determining whether the provided safeguards
are adequate for plant conditions. Users must also ensure that all
safeguards are maintained in working order.
DANGER
• Never look directly at the welding arc without protective eye wear.
Although safety fence arc curtains block the radiation of ultraviolet light,
looking directly at the welding arc without protective eye wear can
cause severe eye damage or blindness.
