3.6 Guards
The system is equipped with the following guards:
• monitored access to the archive
• <EMERGENCY STOP> button on the front of the I/O unit
• monitored guard door to the Quadro tower
3.6.1 Access to the Archive
The archive is completely enclosed in a housing. The only access to it is a monito-
red guard door. The interlock is active when the main switch has been switched on.
The guard door cannot be opened in operating mode “AUTO”.
The housing around the archive serves as a separating guard. It separates the dan-
ger area of the AML/E system from the normal working area.
The danger area (archive) of the AML/E-Systems is the area in which persons
could be injured due to hazardous movements of the robot the handling unit or the
storage towers.
Hazardous movements can be:
• expected movements
• unexpected movements
WARNING!
In the archive movements of components can cause serious injury.
Access to this area is therefore restricted to authorized persons. Persons who
have not been trained in the use of the system may only enter the archive
under supervision.
Access to the library is permitted only
• System is provided with a plug on the power supply cord (type „B“),
disconnect system with the supply plug
• after switching off the reset switch and
• securing it against being switched on again
Unauthorized persons are especially at risk in the danger area since they
• are not trained in operating the system
• are not aware of the hazards
• cannot correctly appraise the reactions of the system
