Safety Compliance

Specific tolerances and conditions of use for ensuring safety are described in the manuals for the Manipulators and Controllers. Be sure to also read these manuals.

Observe the safety standards of the respective country and region when installing and operating the robot system. The following are examples of safety standards related to robot systems and other safety standards.

Please refer not only to this chapter but also to these standards and take adequate safety measures.
