The wrist contains axes 5 and 6. The motors of axes5 and 6 are incorporated in this assembly. Both axes are driven via toothedbelts and gear units. The design enables the fluid supply to be routed directlythrough the center of axis 6 to the application.For attaching end effectors (tools), the in-line wrist has a mounting flange.The arm is the link between the hollow-shaft wrist and the link arm. It housesthe motors of wrist axes 3 and 4. The arm is driven by the motor of axis 3. Themaximum permissible swivel angle is mechanically limited by a stop for eachdirection, plus and minus. The associated buffers are attached to the link arm.The entire drive unit of axis 4 is also integrated inside the arm. In addition, thecable harness for the wrist axes A 5 and A 6 is installed under a cover. Fasteningfacilities are provided for the welding application equipment on the rearof the arm. The fluid supply to the tool is routed axially through the arm.The link arm is the assembly located between the arm and the rotating column.It consists of the link arm body with the buffers.The rotating column houses the motors of axes 1 and 2. The rotational motionof axis 1 is performed by the rotating column. This is screwed to the baseframe via the gear unit of axis 1 and is driven by a motor in the rotating column.The link arm is also mounted in the rotating column.10 / 79 Issued: 19.04.2013 Version: Spez <strong>KR</strong> <strong>16</strong> <strong>arc</strong> <strong>HW</strong> V6 en (PDF)

5 Safety5.5 Safety measures5.5.1 General safety measuresThe industrial robot may only be used in perfect technical condition in accordancewith its intended use and only by safety-conscious persons. Operatorerrors can result in personal injury and damage to property.It is important to be prepared for possible movements of the industrial roboteven after the robot controller has been switched off and locked. Incorrect installation(e.g. overload) or mechanical defects (e.g. brake defect) can causethe manipulator or external axes to sag. If work is to be carried out on aswitched-off industrial robot, the manipulator and external axes must first bemoved into a position in which they are unable to move on their own, whetherthe payload is mounted or not. If this is not possible, the manipulator and externalaxes must be secured by appropriate means.In the absence of operational safety functions and safeguards,the industrial robot can cause personal injury ormaterial damage. If safety functions or safeguards are dismantled or deactivated,the industrial robot may not be operated.Standing underneath the robot arm can cause death orserious injuries. For this reason, standing underneath therobot arm is prohibited!The motors reach temperatures during operation whichcan cause burns to the skin. Contact must be avoided.Appropriate safety precautions must be taken, e.g. protective gloves must beworn.KCPThe user must ensure that the industrial robot is only operated with the KCPby authorized persons.If more than one KCP is used in the overall system, it must be ensured thateach KCP is unambiguously assigned to the corresponding industrial robot.They must not be interchanged.The operator must ensure that decoupled KCPs are immediatelyremoved from the system and stored out ofsight and reach of personnel working on the industrial robot. This serves toprevent operational and non-operational EMERGENCY STOP devices frombecoming interchanged.Failure to observe this precaution may result in death, severe injuries or considerabledamage to property.Externalkeyboard,external mouseAn external keyboard and/or external mouse may only be used if the followingconditions are met:• Start-up or maintenance work is being carried out.• The drives are switched off.• There are no persons in the danger zone.The KCP must not be used as long as an external keyboard and/or externalmouse are connected.The external keyboard and/or external mouse must be removed as soon asthe start-up or maintenance work is completed or the KCP is connected.FaultsThe following tasks must be carried out in the case of faults in the industrialrobot:Issued: 19.04.2013 Version: Spez <strong>KR</strong> <strong>16</strong> <strong>arc</strong> <strong>HW</strong> V6 en (PDF)49 / 79
