5 Safety5 Safety5.1 General•This “Safety” chapter refers to a mechanical component of an industrialrobot.•If the mechanical component is used together with a KUKA robotcontroller, the “Safety” chapter of the operating instructions or assemblyinstructions of the robot controller must be used!This contains all the information provided in this “Safety” chapter. It alsocontains additional safety information relating to the robot controllerwhich must be observed.• Where this “Safety” chapter uses the term “industrial robot”, this also refersto the individual mechanical component if applicable.5.1.1 LiabilityThe device described in this document is either an industrial robot or a componentthereof.Components of the industrial robot:• Manipulator• Robot controller• Teach pendant• Connecting cables• External axes (optional)e.g. linear unit, turn-tilt table, positioner• Software• Options, accessoriesThe industrial robot is built using state-of-the-art technology and in accordancewith the recognized safety rules. Nevertheless, misuse of the industrialrobot may constitute a risk to life and limb or cause damage to the industrialrobot and to other material property.The industrial robot may only be used in perfect technical condition in accordancewith its designated use and only by safety-conscious persons who arefully aware of the risks involved in its operation. Use of the industrial robot issubject to compliance with this document and with the declaration of incorporationsupplied together with the industrial robot. Any functional disorders affectingsafety must be rectified immediately.Safety informationSafety information cannot be held against KUKA Roboter GmbH. Even if allsafety instructions are followed, this is not a guarantee that the industrial robotwill not cause personal injuries or material damage.No modifications may be carried out to the industrial robot without the authorizationof KUKA Roboter GmbH.
