use. The risk lies entirely with the user.
Operation in accordance with the intended use also involves continuous observance of the operating instructions with particular reference to the maintenance specifications.
Misuse
Any use or application deviating from the intended use is deemed to be misuse
and is not allowed. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any resulting
damage. The risk lies entirely with the user.
Examples of such misuse include:

Transportation of persons and animals

Use as a climbing aid

Operation outside the permissible technical operating parameters

Operation in potentially explosive environments

Underground operation
Changing the structure of the positioner, e.g. by drilling
holes, etc., can result in damage to the components. This
is considered improper use and leads to loss of guarantee and liability entitlements.
The positioner is an integral part of an overall system and may only
be operated in a CE-compliant system.

Description of the positioner
Overview
The positioner has two axes, which are controlled via the robot controller. A
customer-specific or project-specific fixture is mounted by means of a mechanical interface (e.g. locating holes and threaded holes). An energy supply
system (e.g. for compressed air, electrical current) can be integrated into the
system.
In the document, the axes of the positioner are referred to as axis 1 (A1) and
axis 2 (A2). In the actual application, A1 and A2 might already be assigned to
different system components.

Base frame
The base frame is the base of the positioner. It supports the tilting axis and is
bolted to the floor.
Swing frame
The swing frame is of cast design and serves as a mount for the motor and the
gear unit of the rotational axis.
Two stops on the swing frame and stop blocks on the base frame limit the
range of the tilting axis. This provides the energy supply system and the face
plate with mechanical protection against excessive tilting.

3.3
Control and integration
Description
The drive units of the positioner are operated as external axes of the robot
controller. The following couplings are possible:

Asynchronous operation. There is no mathematical coupling with the robot.

Mathematical coupling of one or more drive units into the robot kinematic
system.
Root point calibration is required for the mathematical coupling.
Further information about calibration of an external kinematic system
is contained in the Operating and Programming Instructions for System Integrators.
An example of a mathematical coupling is depicted in the following diagram.
Fig. 3-4: Robot with external axes and extended kinematic system
With mathematical coupling, the robot constantly follows the movement of the
coupled external axes. The mathematical coupling can simplify the programming for complex processes, e.g. arc welding. Using this method, a constant
defined orientation can be maintained during a CP motion, for example.
3.4
Description of energy supply system
For use in certain production technologies, the positioner is equipped with an
energy supply system installed. The energy supply system consists of a hose
and cable bundle for transmitting the energy, fluids and signals typical of the
technological process concerned. Each energy supply system consists of a

cable package and the holders for energy supply system required for attaching
it to the robot.
The energy supply system accommodates the cables and hoses and ensures
that they are guided with minimum stress throughout the permitted turning
range of the rotational axis. It is installed between the interface on the base
frame and the platform. The energy supply system consists of an applicationspecific cable package, including the interface. Depending on the positioner
type, the cable package contains control cables as well as hoses for compressed air and water.
The energy supply system consists of the following principal components:

Cable package


Description of cable package
The energy supply system is centered on the cable package. It consists of application-dependent hoses and cables.
The interface is located at the rear of the base frame. From the interface, the
cables and hoses of the energy supply system as well as the cable set for the
drives are routed through the energy chain to the face plate where they are
fixed in place. The grounding cable is fastened to the current collector. The remaining cables and hoses are routed below the face plate to the center of the
face plate. Closed and open cables and hoses protrude from the face plate.
This means that no connector is fitted to the open cables or hoses, thus allowing these cables and hoses to be adapted to the specific requirements.
A strain relief device for the cables and hoses must be provided by
the customer on the fixture and/or tool side.

Stopping distances
General information

The stopping distance is the angle traveled by the positioner from the moment the stop signal is triggered until the positioner comes to a complete
standstill.

Stop category:

Stop category 0 » STOP 0
according to IEC 60204-1

The values specified for Stop 0 are guide values determined by means of
tests and simulation. They are average values. The actual stopping distances and stopping times may differ due to internal and external influences on the braking torque. It is therefore advisable to determine the exact
Issued: 22.06.2016 Version: Spez DKP-400 V7
37 / 75
KUKA Positioner
stopping distances and stopping times where necessary under the real
conditions of the actual positioner application.

Measuring technique
The stopping distances were measured using the robot-internal measuring technique.

Description
The wear on the brakes varies depending on the operating mode, robot
application and the number of STOP 0 stops triggered. It is therefore advisable to check the stopping distance at least once a year.
The table shows the stopping distances after a STOP 0 (category 0 stop) is
triggered.

Issued: 22.06.2016 Version: Spez DKP-400 V7
5 Safety
The safeguards (e.g. safety gate) must be situated inside the safety zone. In
the case of a stop, the manipulator and external axes (optional) are braked
and come to a stop within the danger zone.
The danger zone consists of the workspace and the stopping distances of the
manipulator and external axes (optional). It must be safeguarded by means of
physical safeguards to prevent danger to persons or the risk of material damage.
5.4
Overview of protective equipment
The protective equipment of the mechanical component may include:

Mechanical end stops

Mechanical axis range limitation (optional)

Axis range monitoring (optional)

Release device (optional)

Labeling of danger areas
Not all equipment is relevant for every mechanical component.
5.4.1
Mechanical end stops
Depending on the robot variant, the axis ranges of the main and wrist axes of
the manipulator are partially limited by mechanical end stops.
Additional mechanical end stops can be installed on the external axes.
If the manipulator or an external axis hits an obstruction
or a mechanical end stop or axis range limitation, the manipulator can no longer be operated safely. The manipulator must be taken
out of operation and KUKA Roboter GmbH must be consulted before it is put
back into operation .
5.4.2
Mechanical axis range limitation (optional)
Some manipulators can be fitted with mechanical axis range limitation in axes
A1 to A3. The adjustable axis range limitation systems restrict the working
range to the required minimum. This increases personal safety and protection
of the system.
In the case of manipulators that are not designed to be fitted with mechanical
axis range limitation, the workspace must be laid out in such a way that there
is no danger to persons or material property, even in the absence of mechanical axis range limitation.
If this is not possible, the workspace must be limited by means of photoelectric
barriers, photoelectric curtains or obstacles on the system side. There must be
no shearing or crushing hazards at the loading and transfer areas.
This option is not available for all robot models. Information on specific robot models can be obtained from KUKA Roboter GmbH.
5.4.3
Axis range monitoring (optional)
Some manipulators can be fitted with dual-channel axis range monitoring systems in main axes A1 to A3. The positioner axes may be fitted with additional
axis range monitoring systems. The safety zone for an axis can be adjusted
Issued: 22.06.2016 Version: Spez DKP-400 V7

and monitored using an axis range monitoring system. This increases personal safety and protection of the system.
This option is not available for the KR C4. This option is not available
for all robot models. Information on specific robot models can be obtained from KUKA Roboter GmbH.
5.4.4
Options for moving the manipulator without drive energy
The system user is responsible for ensuring that the training of personnel with regard to the response to emergencies or exceptional situations also includes how the manipulator can be moved without
drive energy.
Description
The following options are available for moving the manipulator without drive
energy after an accident or malfunction:

Release device (optional)
The release device can be used for the main axis drive motors and, depending on the robot variant, also for the wrist axis drive motors.

Brake release device (option)
The brake release device is designed for robot variants whose motors are
not freely accessible.

Moving the wrist axes directly by hand
There is no release device available for the wrist axes of variants in the low
payload category. This is not necessary because the wrist axes can be
moved directly by hand.
Information about the options available for the various robot models
and about how to use them can be found in the assembly and operating instructions for the robot or requested from KUKA Roboter
GmbH.
Moving the manipulator without drive energy can damage the motor brakes of the axes concerned. The motor
must be replaced if the brake has been damaged. The manipulator may
therefore be moved without drive energy only in emergencies, e.g. for rescuing persons.

Safety measures
5.5.1
General safety measures
The industrial robot may only be used in perfect technical condition in accordance with its intended use and only by safety-conscious persons. Operator
errors can result in personal injury and damage to property.
It is important to be prepared for possible movements of the industrial robot
even after the robot controller has been switched off and locked out. Incorrect
installation (e.g. overload) or mechanical defects (e.g. brake defect) can cause
the manipulator or external axes to sag. If work is to be carried out on a
switched-off industrial robot, the manipulator and external axes must first be
moved into a position in which they are unable to move on their own, whether
the payload is mounted or not. If this is not possible, the manipulator and external axes must be secured by appropriate means.
In the absence of operational safety functions and safeguards, the industrial robot can cause personal injury or
material damage. If safety functions or safeguards are dismantled or deactivated, the industrial robot may not be operated.
Standing underneath the robot arm can cause death or
injuries. For this reason, standing underneath the robot
arm is prohibited!
The motors reach temperatures during operation which
can cause burns to the skin. Contact must be avoided.
Appropriate safety precautions must be taken, e.g. protective gloves must be
worn.
KCP/smartPAD
The user must ensure that the industrial robot is only operated with the
KCP/smartPAD by authorized persons.
If more than one KCP/smartPAD is used in the overall system, it must be ensured that each device is unambiguously assigned to the corresponding industrial robot. They must not be interchanged.
The operator must ensure that decoupled KCPs/smartPADs are immediately removed from the system and
stored out of sight and reach of personnel working on the industrial robot.
This serves to prevent operational and non-operational EMERGENCY STOP
devices from becoming interchanged.
Failure to observe this precaution may result in death, severe injuries or considerable damage to property.
External
keyboard,
external mouse
An external keyboard and/or external mouse may only be used if the following
conditions are met:

Start-up or maintenance work is being carried out.

The drives are switched off.

There are no persons in the danger zone.
The KCP/smartPAD must not be used as long as an external keyboard and/or
external mouse are connected to the control cabinet.
The external keyboard and/or external mouse must be removed from the control cabinet as soon as the start-up or maintenance work is completed or the
KCP/smartPAD is connected.

5.5.3
The prescribed transport position of the external axis (e.g. KUKA linear unit,
turn-tilt table, positioner) must be observed. Transportation must be carried
out in accordance with the operating instructions or assembly instructions of
the external axis.
Start-up and recommissioning
Before starting up systems and devices for the first time, a check must be carried out to ensure that the systems and devices are complete and operational,
that they can be operated safely and that any damage is detected.
The valid national or regional work safety regulations must be observed for this
check. The correct functioning of all safety circuits must also be tested.
The passwords for logging onto the KUKA System Software as “Expert” and “Administrator” must be changed before start-up and must
only be communicated to authorized personnel.
52 / 75
Issued: 22.06.2016 Version: Spez DKP-400 V7
5 Safety
The robot controller is preconfigured for the specific industrial robot. If cables are interchanged, the manipulator and the external axes (optional) may receive incorrect data and can thus
cause personal injury or material damage. If a system consists of more than
one manipulator, always connect the connecting cables to the manipulators
and their corresponding robot controllers.
If additional components (e.g. cables), which are not part of the scope
of supply of KUKA Roboter GmbH, are integrated into the industrial
robot, the user is responsible for ensuring that these components do
not adversely affect or disable safety functions.
If the internal cabinet temperature of the robot controller
differs greatly from the ambient temperature, condensation can form, which may cause damage to the electrical components. Do not
put the robot controller into operation until the internal temperature of the
cabinet has adjusted to the ambient temperature.
Function test
The following tests must be carried out before start-up and recommissioning:
It must be ensured that:

The industrial robot is correctly installed and fastened in accordance with
the specifications in the documentation.

There is no damage to the robot that could be attributed to external forces.
Example: Dents or abrasion that could be caused by an impact or collision.
In the case of such damage, the affected components
must be exchanged. In particular, the motor and counterbalancing system must be checked carefully.
External forces can cause non-visible damage. For example, it can lead to
a gradual loss of drive power from the motor, resulting in unintended movements of the manipulator. Death, injuries or considerable damage to property
may otherwise result.
Machine data

There are no foreign bodies or loose parts on the industrial robot.

All required safety equipment is correctly installed and operational.

The power supply ratings of the industrial robot correspond to the local
supply voltage and mains type.

The ground conductor and the equipotential bonding cable are sufficiently
rated and correctly connected.

The connecting cables are correctly connected and the connectors are
locked.
It must be ensured that the rating plate on the robot controller has the same
machine data as those entered in the declaration of incorporation. The machine data on the rating plate of the manipulator and the external axes (optional) must be entered during start-up.
The industrial robot must not be moved if incorrect machine data are loaded. Death, severe injuries or considerable damage to property may otherwise result. The correct machine data
must be loaded.

5.5.6
Maintenance and repair
After maintenance and repair work, checks must be carried out to ensure the
required safety level. The valid national or regional work safety regulations
must be observed for this check. The correct functioning of all safety functions
must also be tested.
The purpose of maintenance and repair work is to ensure that the system is
kept operational or, in the event of a fault, to return the system to an operational state. Repair work includes troubleshooting in addition to the actual repair
itself.
The following safety measures must be carried out when working on the industrial robot:

Carry out work outside the danger zone. If work inside the danger zone is
necessary, the user must define additional safety measures to ensure the
safe protection of personnel.

Switch off the industrial robot and secure it (e.g. with a padlock) to prevent
it from being switched on again. If it is necessary to carry out work with the
robot controller switched on, the user must define additional safety measures to ensure the safe protection of personnel.

If it is necessary to carry out work with the robot controller switched on, this
may only be done in operating mode T1.

Label the system with a sign indicating that work is in progress. This sign
must remain in place, even during temporary interruptions to the work.

The EMERGENCY STOP devices must remain active. If safety functions
or safeguards are deactivated during maintenance or repair work, they
must be reactivated immediately after the work is completed.
Before work is commenced on live parts of the robot system, the main switch must be turned off and secured
against being switched on again. The system must then be checked to ensure that it is deenergized.
It is not sufficient, before commencing work on live parts, to execute an
EMERGENCY STOP or a safety stop, or to switch off the drives, as this does
not disconnect the robot system from the mains power supply. Parts remain
energized. Death or severe injuries may result.
Faulty components must be replaced using new components with the same
article numbers or equivalent components approved by KUKA Roboter GmbH
for this purpose.
Cleaning and preventive maintenance work is to be carried out in accordance
with the operating instructions.
Robot controller
Even when the robot controller is switched off, parts connected to peripheral
devices may still carry voltage. The external power sources must therefore be
switched off if work is to be carried out on the robot controller.
The ESD regulations must be adhered to when working on components in the
robot controller.
Voltages in excess of 50 V (up to 600 V) can be present in various components
for several minutes after the robot controller has been switched off! To prevent
life-threatening injuries, no work may be carried out on the industrial robot in
this time.
Water and dust must be prevented from entering the robot controller.
