Welcome!
Rethink Robotics’ collaborative robots are not serviceable or repairable by end-users. In the
event servicing or repairs are required for the robot, please contact your distributor or Rethink
Robotics for technical assistance.
When the robot is moving a heavy part (>2.5 kg) and a user removes the part from the gripper
or the part unintentionally falls (and no logic has been trained to handle these issues), the arm will
still try to compensate for a mass that is no longer there and the arm may move unexpectedly. This
includes having the arm point straight up. In order to mitigate these behaviors, please train your
task accordingly so that it may handle these error cases. In addition, always perform a Risk Assess-
ment so you may understand the risk levels and ways to mitigate these.
Use caution when servicing robot workcell, including following OSHA's Lockout/Tagout Pro-
cedures 1910.147 if Safety Assessment of application recommends it.
If a supplementary audible means of robot operation is necessary, it shall exceed the ambi-
ent noise at the end-use application.
If controller is placed inside the robot workspace, caution needs to be taken when training
tasks to avoid coming in contact with it.
In Europe, Rethink Robotics’ collaborative robots are provided with a Declaration of Incorpo-
ration (DoI) per Annex IIB of the EC Machinery Directive. The Machinery Directive requires that the
integrator and/or end user must ensure that all incomplete machinery must be incorporated into a
complete machine and certified to the Machinery Directive requirements resulting in an EC Declara-
tion of Conformity certificate being generated, and the machine being CE marked. Only then can
the machinery be operated. The system integrator and/or end user is responsible for the following
tasks:
o Installing the industrial robot
