1.5 Danger Identification

All potential contacts and foreseeable misoperations between the operating personnel and the
robot during normal use should be considered during risk assessment. The neck, face and head of the
operating personnel should not be exposed, as to avoid touching. In absence of peripheral safety
protective device, the risk assessment should be implemented first before using the robot, as to judge
whether the related dangers constitute the unacceptable risk, for example:
• The probable danger because of use of the sharp end effector or the tool connector.
• The probable danger due to handling of the toxic or other harmful substances.
• The danger in which a finger of the operating personnel is clamped by the robot base or the joint.
• The danger caused by bumping against the robot.
• The danger because the robot or the tool connected to the end is not fixed in place.
• The danger due to impact between the payload of the robot and the hard surface.
The integrator must measure this type of risks and the related risk levels thereof through the risk
assessment, and confirm and implement the corresponding measures, as to reduce the risks to the
acceptable levels. Please note that the specific robot equipment may have other major dangers.
The risk related to collaborative operation of the EC66 may be reduced to a reasonable and
feasible level as far as possible by combining the inherent safety design measures applied to the
ELITE collaborative robot and the safety specifications or risk assessment implemented by the
integrator and the end users. Through this document, any remaining risks of the robot before
installation may be passed to the integrator and the end users. If the risk assessment of the integrator
measures that there is risk that may constitute the unacceptable risk to the user in its specific
application, the integrator must take the appropriate risk reduction measures to eliminate or minimize
