1.5 Safety
Reading and Training for Users and Operators
Adept systems can include computer-controlled mechanisms that are capable of moving
at high speeds and exerting considerable force. Like all robot and motion systems, and
most industrial equipment, they must be treated with respect by the user and the
operator.
This manual should be read by all personnel who operate or maintain Adept systems, or
who work within or near the workcell.
The installation and use of Adept products must comply with all safety instructions and
warnings in this manual. Installation and use must also comply with all applicable local
and national requirements and safety standards.
The machine, as delivered by Adept, complies with the relevant and fundamental safety
and health requirements defined by the EC Directive, Appendix I. The machine must not
be put into operation until all the machinery into which it is incorporated has been
declared to be in compliance with the provisions of the effective versions of the directives.
This includes all supplementary equipment and protective devices.
We recommend you read the American National Standard for Industrial Robot Systems -
Safety Requirements, published by the Robotic Industries Association (RIA) in conjunction
with the American National Standards Institute. The publication, ANSI/RIA R15.06,
contains guidelines for robot system installation, safeguarding, maintenance, testing,
startup, and operator training.
We also recommend you read the International Standard IEC 204 or the European
Standard EN 60204, Safety of Machinery – Electrical Equipment of Machines, and ISO 10218
(EN 775), Manipulating Industrial Robots – Safety, particularly if the country of use requires
a CE-certified installation.
CAUTION: This indicates a situation which, if not avoided,
could result in damage to the equipment.
WARNING: This manual must be read by all personnel
who install, operate, or maintain Adept systems, or who
work within or near the workcell.
