Safety
FANUC America Corporation is not and does not represent itself as an expert in safety
systems, safety equipment, or the specific safety aspects of your company and/or its work
force. It is the responsibility of the owner, employer, or user to take all necessary steps to
guarantee the safety of all personnel in the workplace.
The appropriate level of safety for your application and installation can be best
determined by safety system professionals. FANUC America Corporation therefore,
recommends that each customer consult with such professionals in order to provide a
workplace that allows for the safe application, use, and operation of FANUC America
Corporation systems.
According to the industry standard ANSI/RIA R15-06, the owner or user is advised to
consult the standards to ensure compliance with its requests for Robotics System design,
usability, operation, maintenance, and service. Additionally, as the owner, employer, or
user of a robotic system, it is your responsibility to arrange for the training of the operator
of a robot system to recognize and respond to known hazards associated with your
robotic system and to be aware of the recommended operating procedures for your
particular application and robot installation.
Ensure that the robot being used is appropriate for the application. Robots used in
classified (hazardous) locations must be certified for this use.
FANUC America Corporation therefore, recommends that all personnel who intend to
operate, program, repair, or otherwise use the robotics system be trained in an approved
FANUC America Corporation training course and become familiar with the proper
operation of the system. Persons responsible for programming the system–including the
design, implementation, and debugging of application programs–must be familiar with
the recommended programming procedures for your application and robot installation.
The following guidelines are provided to emphasize the importance of safety in the
workplace.
CONSIDERING SAFETY FOR YOUR ROBOT INSTALLATION
Safety is essential whenever robots are used. Keep in mind the following factors with
regard to safety:
The safety of people and equipment
Use of safety enhancing devices
Techniques for safe teaching and manual operation of the robot(s)
Techniques for safe automatic operation of the robot(s)
Regular scheduled inspection of the robot and workcell
Proper maintenance of the robot
i
Safety
Keeping People Safe
The safety of people is always of primary importance in any situation. When applying
safety measures to your robotic system, consider the following:
Always give appropriate attention to the work area that surrounds the robot. The safety
of the work area can be enhanced by the installation of some or all of the following
devices:
A safe workcell is essential to protect people and equipment. Observe the following
guidelines to ensure that the workcell is set up safely. These suggestions are intended to
supplement and not replace existing federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and
guidelines that pertain to safety.
Sponsor your personnel for training in approved FANUC America Corporation
training course(s) related to your application. Never permit untrained personnel to
operate the robots.
Install a lockout device that uses an access code to prevent unauthorized persons
from operating the robot.
Use anti–tie–down logic to prevent the operator from bypassing safety measures.
Arrange the workcell so the operator faces the workcell and can see what is going on
inside the cell.
Clearly identify the work envelope of each robot in the system with floor markings,
signs, and special barriers. The work envelope is the area defined by the maximum
motion range of the robot, including any tooling attached to the wrist flange that
extend this range.
ii
Safety
Position all controllers outside the robot work envelope.
Never rely on software or firmware based controllers as the primary safety element
unless they comply with applicable current robot safety standards.
Mount an adequate number of EMERGENCY STOP buttons or switches within easy
reach of the operator and at critical points inside and around the outside of the
workcell.
Install flashing lights and/or audible warning devices that activate whenever the robot
is operating, that is, whenever power is applied to the servo drive system. Audible
warning devices shall exceed the ambient noise level at the end–use application.
Wherever possible, install safety fences to protect against unauthorized entry by
personnel into the work envelope.
Install special guarding that prevents the operator from reaching into restricted areas
of the work envelope.
Use interlocks.
Use presence or proximity sensing devices such as light curtains, mats, and
capacitance and vision systems to enhance safety.
Periodically check the safety joints or safety clutches that can be optionally installed
between the robot wrist flange and tooling. If the tooling strikes an object, these
devices dislodge, remove power from the system, and help to minimize damage to
the tooling and robot.
Make sure all external devices are properly filtered, grounded, shielded, and
suppressed to prevent hazardous motion due to the effects of electro–magnetic
interference (EMI), radio frequency interference (RFI), and electro–static discharge
(ESD).
Make provisions for power lockout/tagout at the controller.
Eliminate pinch points. Pinch points are areas where personnel could get trapped
between a moving robot and other equipment.
Provide enough room inside the workcell to permit personnel to teach the robot and
perform maintenance safely.
Program the robot to load and unload material safely.
If high voltage electrostatics are present, be sure to provide appropriate interlocks,
warning, and beacons.
If materials are being applied at dangerously high pressure, provide electrical
interlocks for lockout of material flow and pressure.
Staying Safe While Teaching or Manually Operating the Robot
Advise all personnel who must teach the robot or otherwise manually operate the robot to
observe the following rules:
Never wear watches, rings, neckties, scarves, or loose clothing that could get caught
in moving machinery.
Know whether or not you are using an intrinsically safe teach pendant if you are
working in a hazardous environment.
iii
Safety
Before teaching, visually inspect the robot and work envelope to make sure that no
potentially hazardous conditions exist. The work envelope is the area defined by the
maximum motion range of the robot. These include tooling attached to the wrist
flange that extends this range.
The area near the robot must be clean and free of oil, water, or debris. Immediately
report unsafe working conditions to the supervisor or safety department.
FANUC America Corporation recommends that no one enter the work envelope of a
robot that is on, except for robot teaching operations. However, if you must enter the
work envelope, be sure all safeguards are in place, check the teach pendant
DEADMAN switch for proper operation, and place the robot in teach mode. Take
the teach pendant with you, turn it on, and be prepared to release the DEADMAN
switch. Only the person with the teach pendant should be in the work envelope.
WARNING
Never bypass, strap, or otherwise deactivate a safety device, such as a limit switch,
for any operational convenience. Deactivating a safety device is known to have
resulted in serious injury and death.
Know the path that can be used to escape from a moving robot; make sure the escape
path is never blocked.
Isolate the robot from all remote control signals that can cause motion while data is
being taught.
Test any program being run for the first time in the following manner:
WARNING
Stay outside the robot work envelope whenever a program is being run. Failure to do
so can result in injury.
- Using a low motion speed, single step the program for at least one full cycle.
- Using a low motion speed, test run the program continuously for at least one
full cycle.
- Using the programmed speed, test run the program continuously for at least
one full cycle.
Make sure all personnel are outside the work envelope before running production.
Staying Safe During Automatic Operation
Advise all personnel who operate the robot during production to observe the following
rules:
Make sure all safety provisions are present and active.
iv
Safety
Know the entire workcell area. The workcell includes the robot and its work
envelope, plus the area occupied by all external devices and other equipment with
which the robot interacts.
Understand the complete task the robot is programmed to perform before initiating
automatic operation.
Make sure all personnel are outside the work envelope before operating the robot.
Never enter or allow others to enter the work envelope during automatic operation of
the robot.
Know the location and status of all switches, sensors, and control signals that could
cause the robot to move.
Know where the EMERGENCY STOP buttons are located on both the robot control
and external control devices. Be prepared to press these buttons in an emergency.
Never assume that a program is complete if the robot is not moving. The robot could
be waiting for an input signal that will permit it to continue its activity.
If the robot is running in a pattern, do not assume it will continue to run in the same
pattern.
Never try to stop the robot, or break its motion, with your body. The only way to
stop robot motion immediately is to press an EMERGENCY STOP button located on
the controller panel, teach pendant, or emergency stop stations around the workcell.
Staying Safe During Inspection
When inspecting the robot, be sure to
Turn off power at the controller.
Lock out and tag out the power source at the controller according to the policies of
your plant.
Turn off the compressed air source and relieve the air pressure.
If robot motion is not needed for inspecting the electrical circuits, press the
EMERGENCY STOP button on the operator panel.
Never wear watches, rings, neckties, scarves, or loose clothing that could get caught
in moving machinery.
If power is needed to check the robot motion or electrical circuits, be prepared to
press the EMERGENCY STOP button, in an emergency.
Be aware that when you remove a servomotor or brake, the associated robot arm will
fall if it is not supported or resting on a hard stop. Support the arm on a solid support
before you release the brake.
Staying Safe During Maintenance
When performing maintenance on your robot system, observe the following rules:
Never enter the work envelope while the robot or a program is in operation.
Before entering the work envelope, visually inspect the workcell to make sure no
potentially hazardous conditions exist.
v
Safety
Never wear watches, rings, neckties, scarves, or loose clothing that could get caught
in moving machinery.
Consider all or any overlapping work envelopes of adjoining robots when standing in
a work envelope.
Test the teach pendant for proper operation before entering the work envelope.
If it is necessary for you to enter the robot work envelope while power is turned on,
you must be sure that you are in control of the robot. Be sure to take the teach
pendant with you, press the DEADMAN switch, and turn the teach pendant on. Be
prepared to release the DEADMAN switch to turn off servo power to the robot
immediately.
Whenever possible, perform maintenance with the power turned off. Before you
open the controller front panel or enter the work envelope, turn off and lock out the
3–phase power source at the controller.
Be aware that when you remove a servomotor or brake, the associated robot arm will
fall if it is not supported or resting on a hard stop. Support the arm on a solid support
before you release the brake.
WARNING
Lethal voltage is present in the controller WHENEVER IT IS CONNECTED to a
power source. Be extremely careful to avoid electrical shock. HIGH VOLTAGE IS
PRESENT at the input side whenever the controller is connected to a power
source. Turning the disconnect or circuit breaker to the OFF position removes
power from the output side of the device only.
Release or block all stored energy. Before working on the pneumatic system, shut
off the system air supply and purge the air lines.
Isolate the robot from all remote control signals. If maintenance must be done when
the power is on, make sure the person inside the work envelope has sole control of
the robot. The teach pendant must be held by this person.
Make sure personnel cannot get trapped between the moving robot and other
equipment. Know the path that can be used to escape from a moving robot. Make
sure the escape route is never blocked.
Use blocks, mechanical stops, and pins to prevent hazardous movement by the robot.
Make sure that such devices do not create pinch points that could trap personnel.
WARNING
Do not try to remove any mechanical component from the robot before thoroughly
reading and understanding the procedures in the appropriate manual. Doing so can
result in serious personal injury and component destruction.
vi
Safety
Be aware that when you remove a servomotor or brake, the associated robot arm will
fall if it is not supported or resting on a hard stop. Support the arm on a solid support
before you release the brake.
When replacing or installing components, make sure dirt and debris do not enter the
system.
Use only specified parts for replacement. To avoid fires and damage to parts in the
controller, never use nonspecified fuses.
Before restarting a robot, make sure no one is inside the work envelope; be sure that
the robot and all external devices are operating normally.
KEEPING MACHINE TOOLS AND EXTERNAL DEVICES SAFE
Certain programming and mechanical measures are useful in keeping the machine tools
and other external devices safe. Some of these measures are outlined below. Make sure
you know all associated measures for safe use of such devices.
Programming Safety Precautions
Implement the following programming safety measures to prevent damage to machine
tools and other external devices.
Back–check limit switches in the workcell to make sure they do not fail.
Implement ‘‘failure routines” in programs that will provide appropriate robot actions
if an external device or another robot in the workcell fails.
Use handshaking protocol to synchronize robot and external device operations.
Program the robot to check the condition of all external devices during an operating
cycle.
Mechanical Safety Precautions
Implement the following mechanical safety measures to prevent damage to machine tools
and other external devices.
Make sure the workcell is clean and free of oil, water, and debris.
Use DCS (Dual Check Safety), software limits, limit switches, and mechanical
hardstops to prevent undesired movement of the robot into the work area of machine
tools and external devices.

Visualize the movement the robot will make before you press the jog keys on the
teach pendant.
Make sure the work envelope is clean and free of oil, water, or debris.
Use circuit breakers to guard against electrical overload.
Programming Safety Precautions
The following safety measures are designed to prevent damage to the robot during
programming:
Establish interference zones to prevent collisions when two or more robots share a
work area.
Make sure that the program ends with the robot near or at the home position.
Be aware of signals or other operations that could trigger operation of tooling
resulting in personal injury or equipment damage.
In dispensing applications, be aware of all safety guidelines with respect to the
dispensing materials.
NOTE: Any deviation from the methods and safety practices described in this manual
must conform to the approved standards of your company. If you have questions, see
your supervisor.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS FOR PAINT ROBOT
INSTALLATIONS
Process technicians are sometimes required to enter the paint booth, for example, during
daily or routine calibration or while teaching new paths to a robot. Maintenance
personnel also must work inside the paint booth periodically.
Whenever personnel are working inside the paint booth, ventilation equipment must be
used. Instruction on the proper use of ventilating equipment usually is provided by the
paint shop supervisor.
viii
Safety
Although paint booth hazards have been minimized, potential dangers still exist.
Therefore, today’s highly automated paint booth requires that process and maintenance
personnel have full awareness of the system and its capabilities. They must understand
the interaction that occurs between the vehicle moving along the conveyor and the
robot(s), hood/deck and door opening devices, and high–voltage electrostatic tools.
CAUTION
Ensure that all ground cables remain connected. Never operate the paint robot with
ground provisions disconnected. Otherwise, you could injure personnel or damage
equipment.
Paint robots are operated in three modes:
Teach or manual mode
Automatic mode, including automatic and exercise operation
Diagnostic mode
During both teach and automatic modes, the robots in the paint booth will follow a
predetermined pattern of movements. In teach mode, the process technician teaches
(programs) paint paths using the teach pendant.
In automatic mode, robot operation is initiated at the System Operator Console (SOC) or
Manual Control Panel (MCP), if available, and can be monitored from outside the paint
booth. All personnel must remain outside of the booth or in a designated safe area within
the booth whenever automatic mode is initiated at the SOC or MCP.
In automatic mode, the robots will execute the path movements they were taught during
teach mode, but generally at production speeds.
When process and maintenance personnel run diagnostic routines that require them to
remain in the paint booth, they must stay in a designated safe area.
Paint System Safety Features
Process technicians and maintenance personnel must become totally familiar with the
equipment and its capabilities. To minimize the risk of injury when working near robots
and related equipment, personnel must comply strictly with the procedures in the
manuals.
This section provides information about the safety features that are included in the paint
system and also explains the way the robot interacts with other equipment in the system.
The paint system includes the following safety features:
Most paint booths have red warning beacons that illuminate when the robots are
armed and ready to paint. Your booth might have other kinds of indicators. Learn
what these are.
ix
Safety
Some paint booths have a blue beacon that, when illuminated, indicates that the
electrostatic devices are enabled. Your booth might have other kinds of indicators.
Learn what these are.
EMERGENCY STOP buttons are located on the robot controller and teach pendant.
Become familiar with the locations of all E–STOP buttons.
An intrinsically safe teach pendant is used when teaching in hazardous paint
atmospheres.
A DEADMAN switch is located on each teach pendant. When this switch is held in,
and the teach pendant is on, power is applied to the robot servo system. If the
engaged DEADMAN switch is released or pressed harder during robot operation,
power is removed from the servo system, all axis brakes are applied, and the robot
comes to an EMERGENCY STOP. Safety interlocks within the system might also
E–STOP other robots.
WARNING
An EMERGENCY STOP will occur if the DEADMAN switch is released on a bypassed
robot.
Overtravel by robot axes is prevented by software limits. All of the major and minor
axes are governed by software limits. DCS (Dual Check Safety), limit switches and
hardstops also limit travel by the major axes.
EMERGENCY STOP limit switches and photoelectric eyes might be part of your
system. Limit switches, located on the entrance/exit doors of each booth, will
EMERGENCY STOP all equipment in the booth if a door is opened while the system
is operating in automatic or manual mode. For some systems, signals to these
switches are inactive when the switch on the SOC is in teach mode.
When present, photoelectric eyes are sometimes used to monitor unauthorized
intrusion through the entrance/exit silhouette openings.
System status is monitored by computer. Severe conditions result in automatic
system shutdown.
Staying Safe While Operating the Paint Robot
When you work in or near the paint booth, observe the following rules, in addition to all
rules for safe operation that apply to all robot systems.
WARNING
Observe all safety rules and guidelines to avoid injury.
x
Safety
WARNING
Never bypass, strap, or otherwise deactivate a safety device, such as a limit switch,
for any operational convenience. Deactivating a safety device is known to have
resulted in serious injury and death.
WARNING
Enclosures shall not be opened unless the area is known to be nonhazardous or
all power has been removed from devices within the enclosure. Power shall not be
restored after the enclosure has been opened until all combustible dusts have
been removed from the interior of the enclosure and the enclosure purged. Refer
to the Purge chapter for the required purge time.
Know the work area of the entire paint station (workcell).
Know the work envelope of the robot and hood/deck and door opening devices.
Be aware of overlapping work envelopes of adjacent robots.
Know where all red, mushroom–shaped EMERGENCY STOP buttons are located.
Know the location and status of all switches, sensors, and/or control signals that
might cause the robot, conveyor, and opening devices to move.
Make sure that the work area near the robot is clean and free of water, oil, and debris.
Report unsafe conditions to your supervisor.
Become familiar with the complete task the robot will perform BEFORE starting
automatic mode.
Make sure all personnel are outside the paint booth before you turn on power to the
robot servo system.
Never enter the work envelope or paint booth before you turn off power to the robot
servo system.
Never enter the work envelope during automatic operation unless a safe area has been
designated.
Never wear watches, rings, neckties, scarves, or loose clothing that could get caught
in moving machinery.
Remove all metallic objects, such as rings, watches, and belts, before entering a
booth when the electrostatic devices are enabled.
Stay out of areas where you might get trapped between a moving robot, conveyor, or
opening device and another object.
Be aware of signals and/or operations that could result in the triggering of guns or
bells.
Be aware of all safety precautions when dispensing of paint is required.
Follow the procedures described in this manual.

Safety
Special Precautions for Combustible Dusts (Powder Paint)
When the robot is used in a location where combustible dusts are found, such as the
application of powder paint, the following special precautions are required to insure that
there are no combustible dusts inside the robot.
Purge maintenance air should be maintained at all times, even when the robot power
is off. This will insure that dust can not enter the robot.
A purge cycle will not remove accumulated dusts. Therefore, if the robot is exposed
to dust when maintenance air is not present, it will be necessary to remove the covers
and clean out any accumulated dust. Do not energize the robot until you have
performed the following steps.
1. Before covers are removed, the exterior of the robot should be cleaned to remove
accumulated dust.
2. When cleaning and removing accumulated dust, either on the outside or inside of the
robot, be sure to use methods appropriate for the type of dust that exists. Usually lint
free rags dampened with water are acceptable. Do not use a vacuum cleaner to
remove dust as it can generate static electricity and cause an explosion unless special
precautions are taken.
3. Thoroughly clean the interior of the robot with a lint free rag to remove any
accumulated dust.
4. When the dust has been removed, the covers must be replaced immediately.
5. Immediately after the covers are replaced, run a complete purge cycle. The robot can
now be energized.
Staying Safe While Operating Paint Application Equipment
When you work with paint application equipment, observe the following rules, in
addition to all rules for safe operation that apply to all robot systems.
WARNING
When working with electrostatic paint equipment, follow all national and local codes
as well as all safety guidelines within your organization. Also reference the
following standards: NFPA 33 Standards for Spray Application Using Flammable or
Combustible Materials, and NFPA 70 National Electrical Code.
Grounding: All electrically conductive objects in the spray area must be grounded.
This includes the spray booth, robots, conveyors, workstations, part carriers, hooks,
paint pressure pots, as well as solvent containers. Grounding is defined as the object
or objects shall be electrically connected to ground with a resistance of not more than
1 megohms.
High Voltage: High voltage should only be on during actual spray operations.
Voltage should be off when the painting process is completed. Never leave high
voltage on during a cap cleaning process.
Avoid any accumulation of combustible vapors or coating matter.
Follow all manufacturer recommended cleaning procedures.
Make sure all interlocks are operational.
xii
Safety
No smoking.
Post all warning signs regarding the electrostatic equipment and operation of
electrostatic equipment according to NFPA 33 Standard for Spray Application Using
Flammable or Combustible Material.
Disable all air and paint pressure to bell.
Verify that the lines are not under pressure.
Staying Safe During Maintenance
When you perform maintenance on the painter system, observe the following rules, and
all other maintenance safety rules that apply to all robot installations. Only qualified,
trained service or maintenance personnel should perform repair work on a robot.
Paint robots operate in a potentially explosive environment. Use caution when
working with electric tools.
When a maintenance technician is repairing or adjusting a robot, the work area is
under the control of that technician. All personnel not participating in the
maintenance must stay out of the area.
For some maintenance procedures, station a second person at the control panel within
reach of the EMERGENCY STOP button. This person must understand the robot
and associated potential hazards.
Be sure all covers and inspection plates are in good repair and in place.
Always return the robot to the ‘‘home’’ position before you disarm it.
Never use machine power to aid in removing any component from the robot.
During robot operations, be aware of the robot’s movements. Excess vibration,
unusual sounds, and so forth, can alert you to potential problems.
Whenever possible, turn off the main electrical disconnect before you clean the robot.
When using vinyl resin observe the following:
- Wear eye protection and protective gloves during application and removal.
- Adequate ventilation is required. Overexposure could cause drowsiness or
skin and eye irritation.
- If there is contact with the skin, wash with water.
- Follow the Original Equipment Manufacturer’s Material Safety Data Sheets.
When using paint remover observe the following:
- Eye protection, protective rubber gloves, boots, and apron are required
