Universal Robots UR10e PolyScope X - Page 24

If the robot is installed in a robot application where hazards cannot be reasonably
eliminated or risks cannot be sufficiently reduced by use of the built-in safety-related
functions (e.g.when using a hazardous tool/end effector, or hazardous process), then
safeguarding is required.
WARNING
Failure to conduct a application risk assessment can increase risks.
•
Always conduct an application risk assessment for
foreseeable risks and reasonably foreseeable misuse.
For collaborative applications, the risk assessment includes
the foreseeable risks due to collisions and to reasonably
foreseeable misuse.
The risk assessment shall address:
•
Severity of harm
•
Likelihood of occurrence
•
Possibility to avoid the hazardous situation
Potential hazards Universal Robots identifies the potential significant hazards listed below for
consideration by the integrator. Other significant hazards can be associated with a
specific robot application.
•
Penetration of skin by sharp edges and sharp points on tool/end effector or
tool/end effector connector.
•
Penetration of skin by sharp edges and sharp points on nearby obstacles.
•
Bruising due to contact.
•
Sprain or bone fracture due to impact.
•
Consequences due to loose bolts that hold the robot arm or tool/end effector.
•
Items falling out of, or flying from the tool/end effector, e.g. due to a poor grip or
power interruption.
•
Mistaken understanding of what is controlled by multiple emergency stop
buttons.
•
Incorrect setting of the safety configuration parameters.
•
Incorrect settings due to unauthorized changes to the safety configuration
parameters.
