Intended Use

Description

Failure to use the robot in accordance with the intended use can result in hazardous situations.

  • Read and follow the recommendations for intended use and the specifications provided in the User Manual.

This product is intended only for use with the UR OEM Controller, for which there are no certifications. See the applicable robot model user manual for the Declaration of Incorporation (DOI).

Universal Robots robots are intended for industrial use, to handle tools/end effectors and fixtures, or to process or transfer components or products. See product specifications for details about the conditions under which the robot should operate.

 

All UR robots are equipped with safety functions, which are purposely designed to enable collaborative applications, where the robot application operates together with a human. The safety function settings must be set to the appropriate values as determined by the robot application risk assessment.

 

Because this product is intended for use with the UR OEM Controller, there are no certifications. To make use of UR safety functions, EMC compliance is required of the application. EMC compliance is foundational to the effectiveness of UR’s safety functions.

 

Collaborative applications are only intended for non-hazardous applications, where the complete application, including tool/end effector, work piece, obstacles and other machines, is low risk determined by the risk assessment of the specific application.

 
 

Using UR robots or UR products outside of the intended uses can result in injuries, death and/or property damage. Do not use the UR robot or products for any of the below unintended uses and applications:

  • Medical use, i.e. uses relating to disease, injury or disability in humans including the following purposes:

    • Rehabilitation

    • Assessment

    • Compensation or alleviation

    • Diagnostic

    • Treatment

    • Surgical

    • Healthcare

    • Prosthetics and other aids for the physically impaired

    • Any use in proximity to patient/s

  • Handling, lifting, or transporting people

  • Any application requiring compliance with specific hygienic and/or sanitation standards, such as proximity or direct contact with food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and /or cosmetic products.

    • UR joint grease can be released into the air (vapor), or drip.

  • Any use, or any application, deviating from the intended use, specifications, and certifications of UR robots or UR products.

Do not modify the robot. Do not modify or alter e-Series end caps. A modification can create unforeseen hazards. All authorized disassembling and reassembling shall be done at a UR service center, or can be done according to the newest version of all relevant service manuals by skilled persons.
 

Failure to consider the added risks due to the reach, payloads, operating torques and speeds associated with robot application, can result in injury or death.

  • Your application risk assessment shall include the risks associated with the application's reach, motion, payload and speed of the robot, end effector and workpiece.
