Title: Identify components of safe robotic systems.
Course: Technology of Robotic Design (21009-36) > Section: Exploring the Components of Robotics and Automation Systems

Identification should include

- power-on lights
- lighted power switch, covered or lockout-capable in off position
- beepers and lights on axis movement
- cover pinch points
- bumper stops on moving vehicles
- object detection in movement direction, auto slowdown
- switches/fuses/circuit breakers for circuit isolation and disabling motion control while leaving CPU and human machine interface (HMI) active
- ring terminals and hot wires on female side of connectors.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What role do power-on lights play in safety?
- What are cover pinch points?
- Why should motion control be disabled when CPU and HMI are active?
