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 baseplateThe 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.Table: Maximum repulsion forces of the manipulatorHorizontal rotating maximum torque ( S-axis moving direction)8000 NmVertical rotating maximum torque (LU-axis moving direction)5000 Nm
