1.Safety
1.1. Introduction
This chapter contains important safety information, which must be read and understood by the
integrator of Universal Robots e-Series robots before the robot is powered on for the first time.
In this chapter, the first subsections are general. The later subsections contain specific engineering
data relevant to enable setting up and programming the robot. Chapter2.Safety-related Functions
and Interfaceson page15 describes and defines safety-related functions particularly relevant for
collaborative applications.
Instructions and guidance provided in chapter2.Safety-related Functions and Interfaceson
page15 as well as in sectionRisk Assessmenton page10 are particularly important.
It is essential to observe and follow all assembly instructions and guidance provided in other
chapters and parts of this manual.
Special attention shall be paid to text associated with warning symbols.
NOTE
Universal Robots disclaims any and all liability if the robot (arm control box and/or
teach pendant) is damaged, changed or modified in any way. Universal Robots
cannot be held responsible for any damages caused to the robot or any other
equipment due to programming errors or malfunctioning of the robot.
Validity and Responsibility
The information in this manual does not cover designing, installing and operating a
complete robot application, nor does it cover all peripheral equipment that can influence
the safety of the complete system. The complete system must be designed and installed
in accordance with the safety requirements set forth in the standards and regulations of
the country where the robot is installed.
The integrators of Universal Robots e-Series robots are responsible for ensuring that the
applicable safety laws and regulations in the country concerned are observed and that
any significant hazards in the complete robot application are eliminated. This includes,
but is not limited to:
•
Performing a risk assessment for the complete robot system
•
Interfacing other machines and additional safety devices if defined by the risk
assessment
•
Setting up the appropriate safety settings in the software
•
Ensuring that the user will not modify any safety measures
