Abstract

A robotic arm is installed to the top of the injection molding machine, it'll either working in a fast running situation or with heavy loading. Any isnorance to the safety of the robotic arm installation will result in a disaster with serious injury or even death to your staff. Here in this chapter we'll discuss the warning signs and its meaning of the robotic arm for the safer operating of the robotic arm.

2.1 Safety Instruction

DANGER LEVEL SIGN: The safety precautions recorded in this manual are divided into the following three categories. When the danger level is high, please be especially careful.

	Failture to observe this precaution may lead to death or serious injury.
	Failure to observe this precaution may easily result in death or serious injury, or cause serious damage to the machine.
	Failutre to observe this precaution may result in personal injury or serious damage to the machine

2.2 Safety Rules

2.2.1 General Safety Rules

1. Get to know your machine for your persional saety, read this manual carefully.

   Familiar with machine applications and limitation, as well as potential hazards associated with machines.

2. Kepp the working area clean:

   Cluttered areas and workbenches can cause surprises.

3. Do not use a robotic arm in dangerous environments:

   Do not use the robot in wet or rainy locations

4. Keep children away from the robotic arms working area:

   All visitors must maintain a safe distance within the work area. Factories must keep children out of the robotic hands.

5. Do not forcibly operate the machine

   Have the robot working safely at the designed speed and within the moving stroke.

6. Debug the mainpulator with the correct tool.
7. Wear the appropriate clothing

   Avoid wearing or waearing loose closing, gloves, necklaces, bracelets or jewelry that could be caught in moving parts. Non-slip shoes are recommended. Wear a cap to cover long hair.

8. Servicing the machine in the end condition:

   Follow the lubrication and maintenance instructions and clean the machine regularly to prolong the life of the robot.

9. Before maintenance, replacement of parts, or assembly and reassembly of the motor, the main power and air supply of the robot must be cut off.
10. Use the recommended accessories, check the recommended accessories in the manual.

2.2.2 Additional safety rules for robotic arms

Indicates that failure to follow the advice will result in serious injury or death.

1. Electrical Safety
   • It's a position with high voltage, and it is forbidden to touch it when the power is turned on.
   • Failure to follow this advice will result in elecdtric shock, electric shock, burns or death.
   • It's forbidden to run with the electric control box open.
   • During maintenance, the work con only be carried out after the main power supply is cut off.
2. Prohibited Conditions of Use
   • Environment with flammable gas and liquid
   • An environment where conductive objects such as metal chips after metal processing are scattered
   • There are environments with corrosive gases such as acids and alkalis
   • There is a foggy environment caused by the coolant used for cutting and grinding
   • There are large inverters, high-power output high-frequency transmitters, large conductors, welders and other electrical interference sources nearby.
   • There is a temperature environment outside the range of 0~40°C during work
   • There is an environment with humidity exceeding 90%RH.
   • There is an environment where moisture condensation occurs.
3. Prohibited Matters
   • The behavior warned in the warning sign
   • Acts prohibited in the operation manual
   • Tear up warning signs
   • Operate in a state without normal judgement due to dringking, taking medicine, and being ill
   • Operation under intermittent power failure caused by thunder, lightning and other reasons
   • Modification of machinery and equipment without the permission of the company
4. Requirements for Use

   Enterprises using industrial automation machinery should follow the established "Technical Guidelines for Safety Standards for the Use of Industrial Automation Machinery" to formulate precautions for selection, installation, use, etc., and to prevent industrial accidents. Necessary measures for industrial disasters.

5. System Grounding
   • In order to make the operating system operate stably and normally, the power grounding (the third grounding) of the system must be reliable grounding, so as to effectively prevent various malfunctions causeed by leakage voltage or static electricity of the system.
   • Please make sure to ground the servo drivers and servo motors.
   • To prevent electric shock, be sure to connect the protective grounding terminal of the servo drive and the control board.
6. Precautions
   • The maintenance, maintenance and overhaul of the manipulator must be performed by professionally trained personnel.
   • There must be safety protection devices in the working area of the manipulator to avoid harm to the human body.
   • All electrical wiring of the manipulator must be done by professionals, and wired acccording to the specified specifications and instructions.
   • Necessary warning signs are attached to the manipulator to eliminate residual danger. Please pay attention to the warning signs during operation.
   • The handling of the manipulator must comply with the provisions of the safety rules.
   • All operations, adjustments and controls must follow the instructions in the manual.
   • When someone is in the dangerous area, the manipulator connot be operated.
   • The hand controller must be fixed outside the dangerous area, and the operator must stand outside the dangerous area.
   • When the manipulator is repairing or changing the mold calibration machine, the power supply must be turned off and the air source must be unplugged.
   • The manipulator has the function of automatic error detection, and the user should contact the agent or the company according to the fault description. Do not make changes unless you have received professional training.
   • In addition to the proximity switch, suction detection, bad clips, and solenoid valve faults that can be repaired by yourself, notify the agent or our company.

2.3 Safety Guard

The minimum (safe) distance from the safety guard or any danger to the guard shall comply with the provisions of 5.10 in GB 11291.2-2013

2.4 Warning Signs

2.5 Machine Nameplate

Δ Please carefully check the nonformity between the nameplate and the robot itself, so that the corresponding machine file can be found according to the nameplate information during maintenance!
