Chapter 1 Quick Start

Overview

Thank you for using Studiobot XL Broadcast Camera Robot from Mark

Roberts Motion Control (MRMC). Studiobot XL is designed for reliable

day-in, day-out use in professional studio broadcast environments.

Studiobot XL is equipped with a robotic arm mounted on a movable

pedestal with the robot controller mounted within the pedestal. For ease

of use it can be wheeled to a location of choice and then held down by

four feet. The Teleprompter and the noise reduction cover for minimizing

noise emission makes it a perfect choice for studio environment.

Studiobot XL Quick Start Guide

Safety procedures for using industrial robots

Note that the words Robot and Rig are completely interchangeable and

identical in meaning, for the purposes of this document.

Motion Control rigs are potentially dangerous. It is important that you

and everyone else on the set understand the safety notes on the following

pages in order to stay safe.

You should use this document in addition to the normal Safety Manual

instructions that are applicable to all motion control rigs, such as Milos.

This section emphasises the safety concerns that are especially important

around high-speed, high-acceleration, industrial-grade robots which can

cause severe injuries, such as Studiobot XL.

Unlike traditional motion control equipment, Studiobot XL

can get to maximum speed in the blink of an eye - too fast for

someone to be able to quickly move out of the way.

It is ultimately the operator of the rig who is responsible for

the safe use of the equipment so never bypass any of the safety

points listed here.

No one other than a highly trained operator should use the

robot, no matter how simple it looks or is.

This document is for the use of robots for carrying cameras or

props, not people. Additional safety steps should be taken prior

to using a rig to carry people.

Studiobot XL Quick Start Guide

Assessing a site

Before setting up Studiobot XL you need to assess the site, paying

particular attention to the following points:

Is the ground or floor firm enough and level enough? You

might have to use boards or bricks to create a level surface. The

surface needs to be strong enough to take the weight of

Studiobot XL without flexing.

Does the site have access? You need to make sure you can

either push Studiobot XL into position on its wheels or carry it

there using a pallet truck or forklift.

Does the site have a power source with sufficient capacity for

the robot and the correct mains voltage?

– Studiobot XL gets its power from the Stäubli CS8 unit

which runs between 200 and 480 Volt, three-phase

power supply (four-wire including Ground). The CS8 is

set at the factory for the three-phase voltage of the

country of use.

– The Robocam Atelier computer that controls Studiobot

XL are auto-switching and can run on 120-240 Volts AC.

Does the site have unusual environmental attributes that

require specialised protection from extreme temperatures,

humidity, rain, or dust?

Installation safety

Due to the large mass of the rigs and the accelerations they

achieve it is important that they are securely mounted, with the

recommended plates and bolts to a secure and concrete floor.

Ensure the floor can support the load and the stresses (see

above).

Ensure the power supply is properly earthed (grounded) and of

the correct voltage (see above).

If the rig is mounted to something other than the floor then

the mount should be heavy and strong enough to take the

forces and not move or fall over during sudden starts and

stops. Use the recommended minimum thickness steel plates.

Studiobot XL Quick Start Guide

Check with MRMC if you are unsure of the exact requirements

for your robot.

Check that all cables are securely fixed and are not going to

catch during motion.

Ensure the camera, lens, focus motor, accessories, power

supplies/batteries, etc. are all very securely mounted and will

not come off during sudden motions, to become lethal

missiles.

Ensure all safety accessories are securely attached and in

working order, including emergency stops, safety sensors, etc.

Clearly mark the area around the robot in which no persons

are allowed to enter. As a bare minimum, use brightly marked

tape on the floor, outside the reach of the robot, to indicate the

“No Go Zone”. Ideally, use physical safety barriers, and light

guards/curtains.

Keep stands, lights and accessories out of the No Go Zone, if

possible. If not possible then try to take as much care with their

positioning and the motion of the rig, as if they were a person.

Remember a light, accidentally hit at high speed by the robot,

can be just as dangerous to someone standing outside the No

Go Zone as the robot is to someone standing in the zone.

Where physical safety barriers are impractical, light guards

should be used or similar alternatives such as laser scanners, to

stop anyone entering the No Go Zone during motion.

Ideally have the robot surrounded on all four sides by a safety

barrier, but where that is not practical, ensure that the

maximum number of sides feasible are closed off, and that any

person having to stand within reach of the robot is located as

far away as possible for the shot.

Studiobot XL Quick Start Guide

Software setup

Always ensure you have the right configuration for the robot

you are using, such as maximum axis speeds and accelerations.

Prior to running moves, enter in and keep to a minimum all

software axis and Cartesian limits. For example if the main axis

only needs to travel +/-40 degrees then reduce the limit to +/

-40 degrees even though it could do +/-180 degrees. This keeps

the likelihood of operator or software errors to a minimum.

Also check the Cartesian speed and acceleration limits are set

to reasonable values.

Operational safety

Do not use around flammable gas. All electrical equipment can

generate sparks that can ignite flammable gas.

Keep the equipment dry. The system has not been made

weatherproof. Do not use with wet hands.

Always run moves only when standing within easy reach of the

emergency stop.

Always tell the production company

and the crew to keep away from the

robot and not approach it when any of

its red lights are on which indicates it is

powered up. Have them sign the

appropriate safety documents and

disclaimers to ensure they understand

this and are indemnifying MRMC if

anything happens.

Always loudly and clearly indicate to others when the rig is

about to move. Shout “Rig Moving!” if no other means exists.

Always ensure the rig is disabled when someone has to enter

the No Go Zone.

Always run any move or adjusted move slowly at first to check

the motion. Even if you have checked the move previously, if

you make a minor change to it then you need to recheck it.

Studiobot XL Quick Start Guide

Keep the software in “slow mode” unless the move has been

tested and is now specifically doing a high speed pass.

In the event that a person or Actor has to be within the no-go

zone during a move (hand model etc.) ensure that they fully

briefed on the safety requirements and that they know not to

change their position or do anything other than the rehearsed

moves without fully warning the operator. Any such person is

to have a clear escape route to allow them to move safely away

from the robot.

During use, repeatedly check the rig mounting points, cables,

camera mount, accessories etc. to ensure nothing has, or is,

working its way loose.

Never bypass any safety hardware or software.
