Precautions and Required Safeguards
Adept Quattro s650H Robot User’s Guide, Rev A 25
Impact and Trapping Points
Adept robots are capable of moving at high speeds. If a person is struck by a robot
(impacted) or trapped (pinched), death or serious injury could occur. Robot configuration,
joint speed, joint orientation, and attached payload all contribute to the total amount of
energy available to cause injury.
Instructions for Emergency Movement without Drive Power
In an emergency, when AC power is removed from the system but DC power is still
present, the arm can be moved manually. The Brake Release button must be pressed to
enable arm movement. Refer to “Brake Release Button” on page 65.
Emergency Recovery Procedures
In an emergency, follow your internal procedures for emergency recovery of systems.
Additional Safety Information
The standards and regulations listed in this manual contain additional guidelines for
robot system installation, safeguarding, maintenance, testing, startup, and operator
training. Table 2-1 lists some sources for the various standards.
DANGER: The robot system must be installed to avoid
interference with buildings, structures, utilities, other
machines, and equipment that may create a trapping
hazard or pinch points.
