I – 2. Safety devices
I – 2. 1. Use
The robot must only be used on an injection machine in a safe environment. Safeguards must be
installed for a part to be removed from the inside of the IMM : these safeguards limit access to the
work area. Access for operations such as maintenance or part manipulation by operators must only
be carried out after a shut–down procedure or following a special safeguard conception.
Warning
: A robot which is immobile is not stopped.
A robot which is stopped is not shut–down.
I – 2. 2. Work areas
The cams and the sensors placed on the 3 axes, demarcate the work areas in which the robot can safely
move in automatic mode.
AREA 1 : Robot arm up area in which the robot can move when the machine is in motion.
AREA 2 : Robot arm free area in which the robot can descend when the machine is in motion. The
Tool Change Position (PCO) is generally in this area.
AREA 3 : Robot outside mould area in which the robot can descend even if the Mould Open (MO)
information is not present.
The out of mould area cam (ZHM) defines the approach stroke that is possible for the robot in the
machine axis whilst waiting for the mould to open. After having taken the part from the mould, the
IMM closing is validated as soon as the arm moves into the “out of mould area” (ZHM).
AREA 4 : Robot in machine axis area in which the robot can only descend if the Mould Open
information (MO) is present. A safety stop is activated if the Mould Open information (MO) is lost
before arriving at the Out of Mould Area (ZHM) or Arm up area (BH). (See “Anticipated restart” in
the “Programming Level 1” Manual).
WARNING ! In Adjust mode :
. the robot no longer acknowledges these areas; it is the operator who is
responsible,
. only the safety stop devices stay active (hitting the emergency stop,
IMM gate closed (PF), overtravel).
