Arms are comprised of manipulators which support or move wrists and end-effectors.  An end-effector is an accessory tool specifically designed for attachment to a robot wrist to enable the robot to perform its intended task.\nWhat type of robots does this requirement apply to?\n-Industrial robots similar to the types pictured below, regardless if they are floor or benchtop models.\n-This requirement does not apply to mobile robots with integrated wheels/tracks.\nRequirements:\nCreate a documented Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for the robot containing at a minimum the following information:\nEmployee with the overall responsibility for the robot;\nIntended use of the robot;\nList of safety devices/systems;\nRequirements for periodic function testing of safety systems according to the manufacturer (i.e. light curtains, door interlock, emergency stops);\nList of required personal protective equipment (PPE);\nEmployee/s responsible for training robot operators;\nList of personnel authorized to operate the robot;\nEmployee/s responsible for performing servicing/maintenance of the robot.\nThe manufacturer’s guidelines must be followed pertaining to installation.  Including but not limited to the following:\nRobot must be secured to prevent movement/tipping of the robot;\nEnsuring that the layout of the cell is assessed for hazards.  Some examples of hazards include;\nLack of illumination.  Illumination of the area must be sufficient enough so that operators and maintenance personnel can clearly see robot parts/controls, perform inspections and adjustments;\nBlocked traffic routes (pedestrians, industrial vehicles, etc);\nBlocked building support systems (electric, gas, HVAC, etc);\nBlocked emergency equipment (fire extinguishers, eye washes, exits, etc);\nThe main control center is located outside of the perimeter guarding.\nFor robots that require hard wiring into the building electrical system, such as a disconnect/circuit breaker panel:\nPSU electricians or other qualified Technical Service employees must perform this work.\nSee the document titled “PSU Safety Risk Assessment for Lab Electrical Equipment document”.  \u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://ehs.psu.edu/laboratory-safety/guidelines\" \u0014https://ehs.psu.edu/laboratory-safety/guidelines\u0015\nAdditional hazards that have the potential to be created by the specific application/task of the robot must be considered and addressed. These hazards may include but are not limited to welding, laser cutting, machining, etc.\nSafeguarding/guarding methods must include:\nAn enclosure (fence/wall/plexiglass, etc.) around at least 3 sides of the robot, at least 5 feet high for floor robots (the top of the enclosure must be 5 feet high for benchtop robots), and attached to the floor/benchtop, OR light curtains around all four sides.\nA light curtain or interlocked door at the entrance to the cell.  These types of devices cut off power to the robot when crossed (light curtain) or when the door is opened.\nThe portable programming control device contains an emergency stop and all actuating controls are labeled.\nMechanical stops are to be installed on the robot’s primary axis to restrict the robot’s movement to only the area necessary to complete the intended task.  Mechanical, electromechanical, or electronic limiting devices are installed on axes 2 and 3.\nAll robot motion initiated from the teach pendant, when used inside the perimeter guarding, is subject to a slow speed of 10 in/sec (250 mm/sec).\nEmployee/s performing the servicing/maintenance of the robot must be trained in Lockout Tagout (LOTO) and knowledgeable with the robot system.\nThere must be a documented LOTO procedure for the robot.  Utilize the template found on the EHS website. \u0013 ","cbCainN2eWrihFwS","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainN2eWrihFwS","docx",1393057,"English","# Introduction and Scope\n# Requirements for a Documented SOP\n# Installation and Cell Hazard Assessment\n# Safeguarding and Guarding Methods\n# Lockout Tagout (LOTO) and Training Requirements\n# Additional Guidance and References","[{\"question\":\"What robots does this requirement apply to, and what does it exclude?\",\"answer\":\"It applies to industrial robots similar to floor or benchtop models.
