1 Safety
1.1 Introduction
This chapter contains important safety information, which must be read and understood by the
integrator of UR 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. Chapter 2 describes and defines
safety-related functions particularly relevant for collaborative applications.
Instructions and guidance provided in chapter 2 as well as in section 1.7 are particularly
important.
It is essential to observe and follow all assembly instructions and guidance provided in other chap-
ters 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 con-
trol box and/or teach pendant) is damaged, changed or modified in
any way. Universal Robots cannot be held responsible for any dam-
ages caused to the robot or any other equipment due to programming
errors or malfunctioning of the robot.
1.2 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 require-
ments set forth in the standards and regulations of the country where the robot is installed.
The integrators of UR robots are responsible for ensuring that the applicable safety laws and reg-
ulations 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
• Validating that the total robot system is designed and installed correctly
