However, the information can reveal the owner or user's apparent attention to good practice, careful operation, regular maintenance, and adherence to the recommendations and guidelines developed for susceptible applications. If the assessment indicated cracking and other serious damage problems, it is important that the inspector obtain qualified technical advice and opinion. III:3-12
SECTION III: CHAPTER 4 INDUSTRIAL ROBOTS AND ROBOT SYSTEM SAFETY A.

A. INTRODUCTION<br />
Industrial robots are programmable multifunctional<br />
mechanical devices designed to move material, parts, tools,<br />

to perform a variety of tasks. An industrial robot system<br />
includes not only industrial robots but also any devices and/or<br />
sensors required for the robot to perform its tasks as well as<br />
sequencing or monitoring communication interfaces.<br />
