Safety

Introduction

Within this chapter, critical safety information is provided that should be thoroughly read and comprehended by the integrator of the Autoblocks turntable prior to the initial power-on of the machine.

SAFETY WARNINGS

The following are a list of Warnings that need to be read and understood before attempting to turn on or operate the machine:

1. WARNING : Electrical Shock 240 Volts – the machine operates at 240 volts which can present a significant risk of shock or death if an operator is exposed. The machine should be locked out using the main power disconnect and should be unplugged prior to attempting any service of the machine including opening of the control cabinet compartment. It is highly recommended not opening the control cabinet and doing so may void your warranty. Qualified and trained personnel only should be allowed to access the turn block control panel or any other block control/wiring compartments.
2. WARNING : Electrical Shock 120 Volts – 120-volt power circuits are provided for each side station of the turn bock. Connecting to these circuits should be done by qualified personnel and present the potential for shock, injury or death.
3. WARNING : Pressurized Air – The turn block provides a main pneumatic air connection at the rea of the machine which internally provides pressurized air to each station. This pressurized air presents a stored energy hazard and should be checked for leaks and connection strength prior to turning on the main pneumatic air supply. The machine requires the supply to be limited to no more than 100 PSIG using a customer provided air regulator. Over pressure could cause damage or injury to operators and should be checked for integrity on a regular basis by qualified personnel.
4. WARNING : Motion/Pinch/Impact Hazard. The turn block can be fitted with worktables, fixtures, and many other types of mechanical customizations. The Turn Block comes prewired for light curtains and cannot be operated without them. The machine must also be equipped with a safety enclosure that prevents the operator from encountering motion-related injuries. The enclosure, light curtains, shields, fixtures, and other customizations must be designed by qualified personnel and all motion related risks shall be address in a risk assessment. See section 3.3.
5. WARNING : Buring/Melting/Fire Risk. The turn block is designed to control induction heating power supplies and coils. These power supplies should be setup and operated by qualified personnel. The power level and dwell time recipes are password protected. Changing the induction recipe by increasing power, dwell time, or both could result in injury or death from over heating or fire.

Validity and Responsibility

Performing a risk assessment is a crucial task for integrators when working with the Autoblocks Turn Table. In many countries, it is a legal requirement. As the safety of the robot installation depends on how the robot is integrated, including factors such as tool/end effector, obstacles, and other machines, a comprehensive risk assessment is recommended. ISO 12100 and ISO 10218-2 are suggested standards for conducting the risk assessment, and the Technical Specification ISO/TS 15066 can provide additional guidance if desired.
The risk assessment conducted by the integrator should encompass all work tasks throughout the lifespan of the turntable application, including activities like turntable teaching during setup, troubleshooting, maintenance, and normal operation. It is essential to complete the risk assessment before powering on the robot arm for the first time. During this assessment, the integrator must identify appropriate safety configuration settings and determine the need for additional emergency stop buttons or protective measures specific to the robot application.
To ensure unauthorized access is prevented, the integrator must use password protection for the safety configuration.

Limit of Liability

Please note that any safety information provided in this manual should not be interpreted as a guarantee or warranty from AutoBlocks that the industrial manipulator will not cause any injury or damage, even if the manipulator adheres to all safety instructions.

Mechanical

Introduction

This chapter describes the basics of mounting the parts of the robot system. Electrical installation instructions in this chapter must be observed.

Mechanical Mounting/Assembly

The Turn Block indexing tables come equipped with many mechanical assembly options for maximum flexibility. These include:

1. Standard ISO 9409-1 output flange for table mounting. See figure 1.
2. An array of threaded holes is provided on the top side of the turntable for further mounting of sensors, fixtures, etc. See Figure 1.
3. A pair of support block struts are provided on left, right, and rear of the table with tapped holes and tool pins. These are utilized to attach standard AutoBlocks configurations but may be utilized for any mechanical feature including enclosures. See Figure 1.
4. Removable threaded feet that may be used for mounting the table to a machine base. Further threaded mounting threaded holes are provided. See figure 3.

Maximum Payloads & Table Deflection

The Turn Block features a robust aluminum substructure to ensure that components that are bolted to the table are well supported with minimal deflection. Mechanical deflection can be divided into two categories and two types. The first category is the amount of deflection under load associated with the turn block structure not accounting for any deflection in the table plate. This deflection is known and calculated independently of the table plate material, thickness, etc. The second category is table plate deflection and is considered as the amount of deflection associated with the table plate and is additive to the turn block deflection to arrive at the total table deflection under load. When the table is loaded evenly on all sides this is considered a symmetrical load. This type of loading will lead to a defection of the table that is symmetrical about the table axis and is generally considered a stable defection that should be considered as a static deflection during the mechanical design stage of development. Asymmetrical loading is when one side of the table plate is loaded causing deflection of one side of the table. This type of loading will cause an asymmetrical deflection such as when a screw driving robot applies a downward force on the table while driving screws.

The Turn Block machine has been designed with high quality precision planetary type gear boxes. These gear boxes and motor sizing provide the following specifications for torque, speed, and backlash:

Mechanical Backlash
< 10 ARC MIN STANDARD GEAR BOX
< 5 ARC MIN PRECISION GEAR BOX
< 3 ARC MIN PRECISION GEAR BOX

Speed & Torque
Maximum Table Speed: 20 RPM
Max Torque at max speed: 5.4 in-lbs.
Reflected Inertia: Contact Autoblocks for calculations.

Direction
Counterclockwise

Enclosures

Autoblocks systems are easily fitted with extrusion type enclosures with up to 4 door switches and a single light curtain. When manually loading from the front of the machine we recommend using a formed acrylic pie shaped shield in addition to the light curtain. The shield protects the operator from process motion risks while they are loading, and the light curtain pauses the motion of the table only and is designed protect the operator from pinching or other motion injury risks from the table indexing.
When mounting the enclosure, the autoblocks table side/rear mounts may be utilized.
When the system includes machine, corner or other blocks they include holes to mount the extrusions. When designing an enclosure, you will be required to complete a risk assessment to ensure the enclosure protects operators from rick of injury.
To further enhance safety measures, the turntable rotation speed is adjustable, allowing for controlled movement of the parts. This adjustment enables the parts to exit the enclosure at a safe temperature, mitigating the potential for burns or other hazards.
By incorporating these safety features, the system prioritizes the well-being of operators by effectively containing and isolating the hot components within the enclosure. This ensures a safer working environment and reduces the likelihood of accidents or injuries associated with high-temperature materials.
Contact Autoblocks Sales if you would prefer a turnkey solution with Autoblocks provide one of our standard enclosures.

Fixtures

To develop reliable and efficient Autoblocks systems it will require the design of a table, table fixtures, and possible other presentation fixturing. These fixtures need to be carefully considered and designed only by qualified mechanical designers. The fixtures need to address repeatable mechanical positioning, environmental concerns such as heat/moisture, strength/stiffness, magnetic field absorption, and vibration resonance frequency. They must also provide for ergonomic loading/unload in the case where an operator needs to interact with fixturing. The Turn Block rotates counterclockwise and provides for 4 or 8 standard positions/fixtures.

Tables

The standard turn blocks do not include a table. Standard and custom tables are available through Autoblocks, or you may design your own. Table load, deflection, resonance, magnetism, stiffness and reflected inertia criteria all need to be considered when designing a table. Standard tables come with drilled and tapped mounting holes and meet Auto Blocks performance criteria. Typical table materials that may be considered are aluminum, steel, acrylic, and other high strength and ESD safe plastics. Consider definition carefully when selecting materials. Only qualified mechanical designers who can perform deflection, reflected inertia, and other mechanical considerations should design tables.

Electrical/Controls

Introduction

To ensure safe maintenance and repair work, it is imperative to follow all safety instructions provided in this manual. Repairs should only be carried out by authorized system integrators or by AutoBlocks personnel. In the event parts need to be returned, please adhere to the guidelines specified in the service manual for proper handling and return procedures.

Maintenance Safety

Following maintenance and repair work, it is essential to perform thorough checks to verify that the required safety level is maintained. These checks must comply with the applicable national or regional work safety regulations. Additionally, it is crucial to test the proper functioning of all safety functions. The primary objective of maintenance and repair work is to ensure the continued operation of the system. In the event of a fault, the aim is to restore the system to its operational state. Repair work involves not only the actual repairs but also troubleshooting to identify and resolve any issues.

Machine Maintenance

The Turn Block requires minimal maintenance for years of precision performance. The motor, gear box, and controls require zero planned maintenance. The one Item that should be checked at least once a year will be the enclosure cooling fan at the rear of the Turn Block. This should be cleared of dust and debris which will build up over time and may require more frequent cleaning in dusty environments. The fan comes with a dust filter built in. Maintenance of the other AutoBlocks, Robots, or other subsystems will be covered by manuals dedicated to those components or covered by their OEM manuals.

Cleaning

Everyday Cleaning: To remove dust, dirt, or oil from the machine, you can use a cloth along with one of the following cleaning agents: water, isopropyl alcohol, 10% ethanol alcohol, or 10% naphtha.
Additional Cleaning: For enhanced cleaning of your machine, AutoBlocks recommends utilizing 70% isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol). Gently wipe the robot with a twisted microfiber cloth dampened with 70% isopropyl alcohol. Allow the 70% isopropyl alcohol to remain on the robot’s surface for 5 minutes, and then proceed with the standard cleaning procedure. CAUTION: DO NOT USE BLEACH.
