Decommissioning, storage and disposal

The following principles apply to the decommissioning, storage and disposal of the system:

  • This work may only be performed by trained and authorized professionals.

  • ► Turn off the system before starting work and secure it to prevent it from turning back on.

  • ► Allow hot components to cool before starting work.

  • ► Wear appropriate personal protective equipment.

  • ► Secure the work area with a red-and-white barrier to prevent unauthorized access.

  • ► Do not perform work directly beneath system components under gravitational load (vertical axis), as these could fall downward due to component failure. Secure the vertical shafts to prevent them from falling before beginning work.

  • ► Some parts of the system are very heavy. Use appropriate lifting aids and slings for lifting.

Safety instructions for decommissioning, storage and disposal​

WARNING

Electric shock from high voltage while working on the system electrical components

An electric shock can cause serious injury or death.

► All work on the electrical system must be performed exclusively by licensed electricians.

► Disconnect the entire robot system from the power supply before performing any work on the electrical system.

► Secure the robot system to prevent it from restarting.

► Check that there is no voltage present.

► Cover or cordon off adjacent live parts.

CAUTION

Danger from hot surfaces

Some components of the system may become hot. There is a risk of burns to the hands.

► Do not touch hot surfaces.

► Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (protective gloves).
