1.7 Risk Assessment

CAUTION:

1. When the robot is combined with or working with machines ca-

pable of damaging the robot, then it is highly recommended to

test all functions and the robot program separately. It is recom-

mended to test the robot program using temporary waypoints

outside the workspace of other machines. Universal Robots can-

not be held responsible for any damages caused to the robot or

to other equipment due to programming errors or malfunction-

ing of the robot.

2. Do not expose the robot to permanent magnetic ﬁelds. Very

strong magnetic ﬁelds can damage the robot.

1.6 Intended Use

UR robots are industrial and intended for handling tools and ﬁxtures, or for processing

or transferring components or products. For details about the environmental condi-

tions under which the robot should operate, see appendices B and D.

UR robots are equipped with special safety-related features, which are purposely de-

signed for collaborative operation, where the robot operates without fences and/or

together with a human.

Collaborative operation is only intended for non-hazardous applications, where the

complete application, including tool, work piece, obstacles and other machines, is

without any signiﬁcant hazards according to the risk assessment of the speciﬁc ap-

plication.

Any use or application deviating from the intended use is deemed to be impermissible

misuse. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Use in potentially explosive environments;

• Use in medical and life critical applications;

• Use before performing a risk assessment;

• Use where the rated performance levels are insufﬁcient;

• Use where the reaction times of the safety functions are insufﬁcient;

• Use as a climbing aid;

• Operation outside the permissible operating parameters.

1.7 Risk Assessment

One of the most important things that an integrator needs to do is to make a risk

assessment. The robot itself is partly completed machinery, as the safety of the robot
