Impacts and Trapping Points
Adept recommends that you read the American National Standard for Industrial Robot
Systems-Safety Requirements, published by the Robotic Industries Association in
conjunction with the American National Standards Institute. The publication, ANSI/RIA
R15.06-1986, contains guidelines for robot system installation, safeguarding, maintenance,
testing, startup, and operator training. The document is available from the American National
Standards Institute, 1430 Broadway, New York, NY 10018.
System Safeguards
Safeguards should be an integral part of robot workcell design, installation, operator training,
and operating procedures. Adept robot systems have various communication features to aid
you in constructing system safeguards. These include remote emergency stop circuitry and
digital input and output lines.
Computer-Controlled Robots
Adept robots are computer controlled, and the program that is running the robot may cause it
to move at times or along paths you may not anticipate. Your system should be equipped
with indicator lights that tell operators when the system is active. The controller interface
panel (CIP) provides these lights. When the White HIGH POWER enable light on the CIP is
illuminated, do not enter the workcell because the robot may move unexpectedly.
