2.10 RISK ASSESSMENT
A risk assessment is important when creating a system that uses robots, including the RB
unit. The safety factors to be considered when operating the robot depend on the
configuration and integration of the robot arm into the whole system. As such, the robot
alone cannot be used for risk assessment.
Refer to the guidelines of ISO 12100 and ISO 10218-2, as well as the technical specifications
of ISO / TS 15066 in order to carry out the risk assessment of robots.
A risk assessment must be performed immediately after robot arm installation. This
assessment is designed to determine and configure safety settings. Determining the need
for additional emergency stop buttons, as well as adding protective measures for the
surrounding environment, are the key tasks of risk assessment.
The safety-related functions of the collaborative robot can be configured in the safety
configuration menu. The menu provides the following functions.
■ I / O settings
: The control box can be set to output safety information through the
output terminal.
■ Speed control
: Enables the user to control the moving speed of the robot arm.
■ Collision detection sensitivity adjustment : When the robot collides with a nearby
object, it will automatically stop. However, the user can control the sensitivity at
which the arm detects the collision.
If the above safety-related functions do not sufficiently reduce the risk, or if any risks cannot
be eliminated, make sure to add an additional safeguard to eliminate the risks. The
manufacturer is not liable for accidents caused by risks that do not comply with the
requirements based on international standards, risks that do not comply with such
requirements based on national laws and regulations, and any risk that is not reviewed in the
above risk assessment.
