This section describes how to safely lift and handle the robot arm.

Proper lifting and mounting of the robot arm are essential for safe handling and to prevent equipment damage and personal injury. Follow the specified procedures when using lifting equipment, including a round sling, to maintain stability and control throughout the operation.

The round sling is provided by UR with g-Series robots. Use it for lifting and handling the robot arm during transport, unpacking, and mounting.

 
 

Using a damaged round sling can result in injury.

  • Carefully examine the sling visually before each use.

  • Do not use the sling if it is cracked, ripped, or the stitching is loose.

  • Do not use the sling if there are signs of heat damage.

Failure to secure the robot arm to a sturdy surface can lead to injury caused by the robot falling.

  • Ensure the robot arm is secured to a sturdy surface.

Incorrect assembly of components and/or wiring can lead to injury.

  • Personal protective gear (footwear, eyewear, gloves) can be required.
