observed. Integration and use of the product must be done in compliance with precautions in
this manual. Particular attention must be paid to the following warnings:
DANGER:
You must read, understand, and follow all safety information in
this manual, and the robot manual and all associated equipment
before initiating robot motion. Failure to comply with safety
information could result in death or serious injury.
The information in this manual does not cover designing,
installing, and operating a complete robot application, nor does it
cover other peripheral equipment that can influence the safety of
thecomplete system. Thecompletesystem must be designed and
installed in accordance with the safety requirements set forth in
the standards and regulations of the country where the robot is
installed.
Any safety information provided in this manual must not be
construed as a warranty, by OnRobot A/S, that the robot
application will not cause injury or damage, even if robot
application complies with all safety instructions.
OnRobot A/S disclaims any and all liability if any of OnRobot tools

2.3 Risk Assessment
The robot integrator must perform a risk assessment on the complete robot application.
OnRobot tools areonlycomponents in a robot applicationand therefore theycan beonlysafely
operated if theintegrator hasconsidered thesafetyaspectsof the whole application.OnRobot
tools are designed with relatively smooth and round design with a limited amount of sharp
edges and pinch points
In collaborative applications, the trajectory of the robot can play a significant safety role. The
integrator must consider the angle of contact with a human body, e.g. orientate OnRobot tools
and workpieces so that the contact surface in the direction of movement is as large as possible.
It is recommended that the tool connectors are pointed in the direction opposite to the
movement.
OnRobot A/S haveidentifiedthepotential hazardslisted below assignificant hazardsthat must
be considered by the integrator:
•Objects flying from OnRobot tools due to loss of grip
•Objects falling down from OnRobot tools due to loss of grip
•Injuries due to collisions between humans and workpieces, OnRobot tools tooling, robot
or other obstacles
•Consequences due to loosen of bolts
•Consequences if OnRobot tools cable gets stuck to something
•Workpiece itself represents a hazard
2.4 Environmental Safety
OnRobot A/S products must be disposed of in accordance with the applicable national laws,
regulations and standards.
The product is produced with restricted use of hazardous substances to protect the
environment as defined by the EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. These substances include
mercury, cadmium,lead, chromium VI, polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl
ethers.
Observe national registration requirements for importers according to EU WEEE Directive
2012/19/EU.

2.5 PLd CAT3 SafetyFunction
RG2
RG6
A safety-rated function has been designed as two buttons at the two arms of the product,
conforming to ISO 13849-1 PLd CAT3.
This Safety Function has a max response time of 100 ms and a MTTF of 2883 years.
The behavior of the safety system is described below:
If something activates the two Safety Buttons, see picture below, the safety control system
stops motion of the two arms of the product. Motion is then prevented as long as one or both
of the two buttons are activated.
If this happens while running the robot program, user can detect this condition with the help
of the provided status information and execute any necessary step on the robot.
To come back to normal operation with the gripper there are provided commands to reset the
gripper.
CAUTION:
Before resetting thegripper alwaysmake sure that no partwill be
dropped due to the loss of gripper power. If Dual Quick Changer
is used it will cycle the power for both sides.
For further details refer to the Operation section.

2.6 Screwdriver Safety feature
2.6.1 Screw-bit System Always Hidden
The Screwdriver has been designed so that the Screw-bit
System can always be hidden inside the housing to enhance
safety.
The Move Shank command will allow the user to hide the
Screw-bit System inside the housing at any time.
Additionally, the software is being designed so that after
running a Tighten, Loosen or Pick Screw command, the
Screw-bit System will be automatically hidden inside the
housing.
NOTE:
As mentioned in the technical sheet, this
safety functionality will be achieved if the
screw length is equal or less than 35 mm.
2.6.2 Operational Safety
The Screwdriver has been designed so that its operations mustbe executed when the distance
between the Screwdriver's bottom part and the surface where the action takes place is within
the range of 0-8 mm (see image below). If the distance is higher than this, the Screwdriver
operations will not be successful, and the system will generate an error.
From a safety perspective, this ensures that nothing larger than 8 mm is exposed to be harmed
by the Screw-bit System while executing a Screwdriver operation.
For instance, if a hand is located on the workpiece when the robot moves toward the recorded
waypoint, the robot in a collaborative installation will have a protective stop when hitting the
hand as it does not reach the recorded waypoint (as a hand is thicker than 8 mm). Additionally,
If the robot reaches the recorded waypoint and starts the screwing operation, the <8 mm
distance prevents the user from placing a hand/finger underneath during a Screwdriver
operation.
NOTE:
As mentioned in the technical sheet, this safety functionality will be
achieved if the screw length is up to 35 mm.
0-8 mm

Safety

2.6.3 Automatic Safety Feature
An automatic safety feature has been implemented to reduce the possibility of the users to be
in danger.
This safety feature is activated if the Screw-bit System detects a force above 40N during
operation. In such a case, a mechanical mechanism will immediately retract the shank and hide
it (up to 35 mm screw length).
Screw-bit System out
Automatic safety activated
If this happens, the safety state becomes triggered.
To reset from this state, command the shank to a new position.
Additionally, if the bottom part of the Screw-bit System detects an unexpected force above
20N while not in operation, the Screw-bit system will retract and be temporarily hidden into
the housing (up to 35 mm screw length). This will not stop the robot program, only temporarily
hide the Screw-bit System.
CAUTION:
This retract functionality does not work if the power is interrupted.
Further actions may be required to eliminate the risk, identified by the risk
assessment.

Operation mode(s)

3Operation mode(s)
There are two alternative modes how the device(s) could be used:
Modes of Operation
OnRobot EtherNet/IP
required in the robot: EtherNet/IP
module
OnRobot WebLogic™
required in the robot: digital I/O
module
OnRobot EtherNet/IP
This mode uses the EtherNet/IP industrial network protocol to operate the grippers/sensor.
EtherNet/IP is a fieldbus that uses the standard Ethernet networking (simple UTP cable,
standard network switch can be used, etc.).
The Compute Box implements an EtherNet/IP Scanner (master device) and requires the robot
controller to implement an EtherNet/IP Adapter (slave device) to operate.
With configurable cycle time (e.g.: 8ms) the ComputerBox can "read" and "write" to the robot
so the grippers/sensor can be controlled or monitored.
There are global functions provided (on the USB stick) to make it easy to access the product
features.
OnRobot WebLogic™
This mode allows simple Digital I/O communication to be used to operate the grippers/sensor.
For example, the Compute Box could be easily programmed to:
•when one of the robot digital outputs is set to HIGH, then the RG2 gripper opens to
77mm
•or when theforcevalues measuredwiththeHEX-EQCreach 50N, theComputeBox sends
a HIGH digital output to the robot.
The Compute Box has 8 digital inputs and 8 digital outputs that can be freely configured for
any "logic".
In this way the user can configure:
•eight gripper/sensor controlling functionality (e.g.: set width to X, close, zero, set
preload, etc.)
•and eight gripper/sensor monitoring functionality (e.g.: is grip detected, is preload > 50N,
etc.).
Furthermore, the "logic" can be complex, like:
•is grip detected AND force >20 N
These "logics" can be programmed through the Compute Box's web interface called Web
Client. It requires only a normal computer with a browser.
