Safety
Safety: It is the state from being protected from
different types of harm/injury or any kind of
damage.
We use robot in Industrial application to remove
human operator from potentially hazard work
environment such as welding, painting, assembly,
pick and place (such as packaging and palletizing),
product inspection, and testing.
Hazard environment contains heat, noise ,fumes,
radiation, toxic gases etc.
Use of Robots
3 occasions when humans are close enough to the
machine to be exposed to danger.
1) During Programming of the robot
2)During operation of the robot cell , when humans work in
the cell.
3)During maintenance of the robot.
Risks can be : collision b/w you and robot.
Electrical shocks , objects dropped from robot gripper/tools,
hydraulic and Pneumatic pressure released from the robot
power supply.
Training
Maintenance
Maintenance involves fixing any sort of
mechanical or electrical device against any
broken or out of service state.
Robot does not need maintenance, their
reliability is good, they state is generally
stable.
Maintenance staff should be highly skilled,
highly trained personnel should be employed.
Maintenance staff
The Staff of the company should be trained and Skilled
for doing modification in the robot.
The Maintenance staff is responsible for two things:
1) Preventive Maintenance: Planned
2) Emergency Maintenance: When a robot
malfunctions or breaks down during regular operation
EM come into play.
In EM staff must respond as quickly as possible to the
problem. The downtime should be very less to avoid
dependency of the robot on other machine.
The crew present at the site should call service call.
Preventive Measurement(PM)
PM is to service the equipment at periodic
intervals to reduce the breakdown of the
machine.
It consists of Checking ,cleaning and possibly
replacing certain mechanical and Electrical
Components of the robot at regular time
interval.
The PM is calculated through Mean time
between Failure.
Quality Improvement
Quality of the manufactured product will be improved
by employing robots instead of humans.
The inclusion of robots will bring consistency in
handling and processing of the parts and less damage
to the work-parts due to smooth handling
But employing humans will help us to find defects and
variation in the product.
Robot are highly repeat , regular and obedient.
They require less time as compared to humans
While doing work such as molding , die casting robot
are much consistent and bring uniformity to the
product.
