Introduction/intended use

ProFeeder Flex is designed for easy manual transport of a fully installed cobot. It is intended to move a cobot between different processing machines
The intention of this manual is to give a guideline of installing a cobot on to the ProFeeder Flex and how to put it safely into operation.
Read this manual carefully. Both for safety reasons as well as helping to realize the maximum potential of the product.

Safety notice

The CE marking of the ProFeeder Flex is not valid as a marking of the complete robot cell. An overall risk assessment of the full installation must be performed. The Risk assessment must include the ProFeeder Flex, the robot, the gripper and all other equipment, machinery and installations at the workspace. ProFeeder Flex must be leveled before being put into operation. Local governmental safety rules and legislation must be followed.
When setting up a new task, be especially aware of the combination of payload, reaching distance, speed and acceleration/deceleration. Always make sure, that the ProFeeder Flex will stay in place without moving or tipping over.

Installation and usage

The installation of the ProFeeder Flex must be carried out by trained and skilled personnel with the relevant profession and experience. It is crucial to the safety and function of the machine, that it is properly aligned and safely prevented from tipping over. EasyRobotics recommend using the EasyDock option (see Fejl! Henvisningskilde ikke fundet.).

Mounting the controller inside the ProFeeder Flex

Open the lid of the ProFeeder Flex to mount the controller inside.
Maintain grip on the handle until the lid is in the lower position. Do not drop the lid.
Check that none of the cables are squeezed.
