PREFACE
SAFETY NOTICE
Do not operate or power your robot before reading this:
Robots, including OB7, can be dangerous. By denition, the robot alone does not constitute the
complete machine or system. A Risk Assessment, performed by a qualied person or team, is
absolutely necessary to understand the risks associated with operating any robot. The specic
considerations and guidelines for performing a Risk Assessment are beyond the scope of this manual.
The Risk Assessment must be performed on the entire machine, system and environment. Steps
must be taken to mitigate all risks identied during the Risk Assessment. These steps may include,
but are not limited to: the addition of safety equipment and/or guarding, education and training
of sta, factory and shop organization, signage, and/or other measures. Risk Assessment and
mitigation is the responsibility of the robot integrator and/or end user. Because the robot is only
one component of the entire system, it is not possible for the robot manufacturer to perform the
necessary Risk Assessment. While a Risk Assessment is mandatory, it can only reduce and mitigate
risks and can not guarantee safety under all circumstances. Comprehensive safety rules, a safe
Work environment and a strong culture of safety are important factors in creating a safe Working
environment.
Operation of robots, and all industrial machinery is governed by regulations and laws specic to each
location. It is the responsibility of the robot integrator and end user to assure that the entire system,
including the robot, are in compliance with all regulations and laws. The following is a partial list of
documents that may be relevant or useful:
• ISO10218-2 Robots and Robotic Devices- Safety Requirements
• ISO/TS 15066-2016 Technical Report for Industrial Robots and Robot Systems, Safety
Requirements
• ISO12100:2010 or later Safety of Machinery - General principles of design, Risk Assessment
and risk reduction
• ANSI B11.0-2010 Safety of Machinery: General Requirements and Risk Assessment
• CSA Z434-2014
• US1740

GENERAL SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Before operating your robot, and while performing the Risk Assessment, consider the following:
• Do not operate the robot or any associated machinery in any manner not considered in the
Risk Assessment.
• Establish and set up the appropriate safety settings in the robot’s and other equipment’s
soware.
• Provide system passwords only to personnel who are suiciently trained and responsible in
operation of the robot
• Never override any safety functions or equipment.
• Provide instructions for use of the entire system.
• Do not operate the robot or system without the necessary safety equipment as identied by
the Risk Assessment.
• Assure a clean, uncluttered and organized Workplace.
• Provide appropriate signage.
• Provide appropriate Personal Safety Equipment.
• Assemble a single le containing this manual, the Risk Assessment, and all associated
technicial information.
• Assure that the robot arm and all associated equipment are securely fastened in place.
• Locate the emergency stop switch, and the robot control tablet, outside the robot's reach and
in a location which may be accessed without entering the robot's operating area.
• Do not operate the robot or any associated machinery if it is damaged.
• Be certain that all settings are correctly congured
• Do not modify the robot. If modied, the robot's performance can not be assured and may
become dangerous in ways not predictable during the Risk Assessment.
• Never climb on the robot.
• Do not use the robot in explosive environments.
• Do not use the robot in medical or human life critical applications.
• Do not use the robot without performing a Risk Assessment.
• Do not power on or use the robot in applications in which the specications or performance of
the robot is inadequate for the job.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
It is the intention of this manual to provide an overview of the safety requirements for operating
a robot. It is the responsibility of the robot integrator and end user of the robot to ensure that the
robot, the associated machinery and the environment are safe. Productive Robotics can make
no warranty that the OB7 robot will not cause damage or injury, even if all safety regulations,
suggestions and instructions are followed. No instructions, or representations to the contrary, by
Productive Robotics employees, resellers, representatives, or any other person or document, may
contradict this. Productive Robotics and its employees do not provide Risk Assessments.
• Do not use the robot without suiciently rated safety equipment as specied by Risk
Assessment.
• Do not use the robot at speeds, forces or power levels beyond those specied, or safe.
• Even under reduced speed and force operation, the robot may contact other objects or parts
of itself which can present risk of injury due to crushing or pinching.
• Even under reduced speed and force operation, sharp portions of the end eector, or sharp
objects carried by the end eector can present risk of injury.
• OB7’s payload limit is 5kg (11 lbs). The payload limit includes the weight of the end eector.
Exceeding this limit can result in potential injury as well as damage to the robot.

manual is accurate and veriable. However, this publication is an evolving document and may contain
technical, typographic, or other errors. Productive Robotics may make changes to this document at

REQUEST FOR OB7 PASSWORD
I have read and understand the safety warnings in the OB7 instruction manual. I understand the
relevant safety regulations and practices governing robot operation in my location. A thorough
Risk Assessment for the application of OB7 has been performed. The risks and hazards have been
identied, and the necessary measures and/or safety equipment needed to eliminate or reduce these
risks have been taken. I understand that a similarly thorough Risk Assessment and reduction must
be performed if/when OB7 is moved to a new location or application. I have educated all employees
and/or other persons Working with or near OB7 in the possible risks, and will continue to educate
future employees or persons who may come in contact with OB7. I understand that operating OB7
beyond limited speed, force and power poses additional risks. I understand that a password is
required to enable OB7 to operate beyond certain speed, force and power levels. I understand that
password access should be shared only with personnel that have been suiciently trained, and only
aer the aforementioned Risk Assessments and hazard reduction steps have been performed.
