Instruction manual MOTOMAN-UP20 Page: 10 Safety guard installation MOTOMAN ROBOTICS EUROPE Created: 00-01-25    Revised: 00-03-21 3.1  Safety guard installation To insure safety, be sure to install safety guards according to the EC-directive
related to machinery. They prevent unforeseen accidents with personnel and
damage to equipment.
Responsibility for safeguarding
The user of a manipulator or robot system shall ensure that safeguards are provi-
ded. The means and degree of safeguarding, including any redundancies, shall
correspond directly to the type and level of hazard presented by the robot system
consistent with the robot application. Example of safetyguardings are barriers,
interlock barriers, perimeter guarding, awareness barriers and awareness signals.
3.2  Mounting procedures for manipulator baseplate The manipulator should be firmly mounted on a baseplate or foundation strong
enough to support the manipulator and withstand repulsion forces during
acceleration and deceleration.
Construct a solid foundation with the appropriate thickness to withstand maximum
repulsion forces of the manipulator as shown in the table below.
During installation, if out of the plane is not right, the manipulator shape may
change and its functional ability may be compromised. Out of the plane for instal-
lation must be kept at 0.5 mm or less. Mount the baseplate in either of the follo-
wing ways: “When the manipulator and mounting fixture are installed on a
common flat steel plate” or “When the manipulator is mounted directly on the
floor”.
