So I have been seeing a lot of people posting pics of robots with unshielded chains and sprockets, and getting comments back about those robots having possible issues during inspection. This has cause me to question our design. The image attached is our only close up of the arm before it shipped. Basically there are 3 sections each have pulleys on either end. The steel cable seen in the picture is fastened at a fixed position on the pulleys. This allows the upper sections to move as the bottom section moves. My question is does anyone see any reason this won't pass inspection. I have read through the rules and havent seen anything that says that guards must be put on cables and chains but then I have seen a lot of discussion around this.

Any comments would help a lot. Especially from inspectors! (if you are an inspection please put that in your post)
