Additional Note On Robots and Robotic Systems

Industrial robots are by their very nature dangerous machines. The Seller does not undertake installations and therefore can take no responsibility whatever for the way in which a robot is installed. It is wholly the responsibility of the Buyer to ensure that any installation, integration or other use of the equipment supplied by the Seller is done properly safely and in accordance with local laws.
