This section contains information regarding the operation of the Lexium P robot. Qualified personnel working with the robot must read and observe this information. The robot was built in compliance with the recognized technical safety regulations.
The robot is intended to be integrated into a machine or assembled with other components to build up a machine or system. The robot is an open type robot that is intended to be installed into an enclosure to provide access protection.
Provide for Protective Measures
Before installing the robot, provide appropriate protective devices in compliance with local and national standards. Do not commission components without appropriate protective devices. After installation, commissioning, or repair, test the protective devices used.
Other standards are applicable as guideline for a robot integration into the machine such as (non exhaustive list):
oDirective 2006/42/EC on machinery
oStandard ISO 10218-1:2011 Robots and robotic devices - Safety requirements for industrial robots - Part 1: Robots
oStandard ISO 10218-2:2011 Robots and robotic devices - Safety requirements for industrial robots - Part 2: Robot systems and integration
oStandard ISO 13857:2008 Safety of machinery - Safety distances to prevent hazard zones being reached by upper and lower limbs
oStandard ISO 14120:2015 Safety of machinery - Guards - General requirements for the design and construction of fixed and movable guards
oStandard EN 349:2008 Safety of machinery - Minimum gaps to avoid crushing of parts of the human body
oStandard ISO 13855:2010 Safety of machinery - Positioning of safeguards with respect to the approach speeds of parts of the human body
oStandard NFPA 79 Electrical Standard for Industrial Machinery
oStandard UL 1740 Standard for Robots and Robotic Equipment
