Case Study 2: Automotive Component Lubrication Robotics
Incorrect. In this case, it would not.
The unjamming of the robot arm does not meet each of the required criteria for the
minor servicing exception; thus, this exception does not apply. Specifically, the
unjamming operation does not take place during normal production operations, as specified
in the minor servicing exception note to 1910.147(a)(2)(ii). In addition, the unjamming
operation does not use alternative measures which provide effective protection.
