Robot Hazards

Robot Hazards
Introduction: the aim of this assignment is to gain general awareness and an understanding of the legal requirements and responsibilities that are involved in the safe working practices associated with robotic assisted manufacture. This is to be achieved by the identification of associated hazards with robotic applications and provide an understanding of how these hazards are overcome.

Typical sources of hazards associated with robotic operations within the working environment include.

· Crushing
· Shearing
· Striking
· Entrapment / entanglement
· Process hazards such as toxic fumes, welding flash, lasers, dust, coolant, high-pressure water jet, unguarded abrasive wheel etc.
· Fire – if the robot is function's by use of hydraulics

As a matter of good system design all moving parts of the robot system should by design or enclosure eliminate / minimise all possibilities of the above from happening

The source for theses types of hazards can be......
