1.6 Usages
JAKA Zu 7 is an industrial collaborative robot suitable for use in industrial environments, for example, for
handling tools and fixtures, or for processing or transferring components or products. JAKA Zu 7 is only allowed
to be used under specified environmental conditions.
JAKA Zu 7 is equipped with special safety-related features, which are purposely designed for collaborative
operation, where the robot operates without fences and/or together with a human. Collaborative operation is

obstacles and other machines, is without any significant hazards according to the risk assessment of the
specific application.
Any use or application deviating from the intended use is deemed to be impermissible misuse. This
includes, but is not limited to the following:
① Use in potentially explosive environments ;
② Use in medical and life critical applications ;
