Safety Signs on Industrial Robots and Control Cabinets

Danger

Failure to follow instructions may result in accidents causing severe

or fatal injuries and/or significant product damage.

This sign applies to the following hazards:

contact with high-voltage electrical devices, explosions,

fires, toxic gases, crushing, impact, and falls from heights.

Warning

Failure to follow instructions may lead to accidents causing severe

(possibly fatal) injuries and/or significant product damage.

This sign applies to the following hazards:

contact with high-voltage electrical units, explosions, fires,

inhalation of toxic gases, crushing, impact, falling from heights, etc.

Electric Shock

Warning for electrical hazards that

may cause severe personal injury or death.

Be Careful

Failure to follow instructions may result

in accidents causing injury or product damage.

This sign applies to hazards such as burns, eye injuries, 

skin injuries, hearing damage, crushing, slipping,

falling, impact, falling from heights, etc.

Additionally, it applies to certain warning messages related to

functional requirements, indicating situations during equipment

assembly and removal that may damage or cause product failure.

ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD)

Warning for electrical hazards that

may cause severe product damage.

Electric Shock

Describes important facts and conditions.

 Tips

Describes where to find additional information or

how to operate in a simpler way.

Prohibit

To be used in combination with other signs. 

This sign represents a specificmeaning only

when used in combination with other signs.

No Disassembly

Disassembling this component may cause injury.

See User Documentation

Please read the user manual for detailed information.

See User Documentation

Refer to the product manual before disassembling.

 Risk of Tipping

The rotation range (workspace) of

this axis exceeds the standard range.

Typically used for expanding the axis 1 rotation range

of large industrial robots (e.g., IRB6700).

Brake Release

Pressing this button will release the brake, 

indicating potential robotdropping.

Pay attention, especially when releasing axis 2, axis 3,

and axis5, as the corresponding axis of the robot

may move downward due togravity without control.

Spin Bigger

If the bolts used to fix the robot base are not securely fastened

to the ground, it may cause the robot to tip over.

Therefore, secure the robot and

regularly check the tightness of the bolts.

Be Careful to be Squeezed

There is a risk of crushing injuries at this sign.

Please be extremely careful.

High Temperature

Due to long-term high-load operation,

there is a risk of burns on the surface of the component.

Robot Movement

The robot may move unexpectedly.

Brake Release Button

Press the corresponding numbered button

to open the brake of the corresponding motor.

Eyebolts

A fastener primarily used for lifting the robot.

Cargo Chain with Shortener

Used for lifting industrial robots.

Robot Raised

This label is used for lifting and handling hints for the robot.

Add Lubricating Oil

May be used with a prohibition sign

if lubricating oil usage is not allowed.

Mechanical Stop Block

Serves a positioning or limiting function.

No Mechanical Limit

Indicates no mechanical limits.

Energy Storage

This component contains stored energy and is generally

used together with a do-not-dismantle sign.

Pressure

Warning: This component is under pressure.

Usually accompanied by text indicating the pressure level.

Close using handle

Use the power switch on the controller.

No Stepping On

Warning: Damage to robot components

may occur if this marked area is stepped on.

Warning signs

There may be high-voltage hazards inside the module

even if the main switch is in the OFF position.

Lifting instructions

Lifting instructions for IRC5 controller.

Read Manual Label

Read the user manual before maintenance.

Electrical Safety Inspection Label

Electrical safety check (internal) for robot system.

Functional Test Label

Functional testing (internal) of the robot system.

UR mark

UR certification, product certification safety symbol.

Indicates Rated Label

Indicates rated values for this industrial robot model.

Calibration Data Prompt

Specifies the updated offset data for the counter of rotations for

each axis of this industrial robot model.

Industrial Robot Serial Number Symbol

Serial number of this industrial robot product

(each robot has a unique serial number).
