2.2. Transportation
Features
Besides moving through waypoints, the program can send I/O signals to other
machines at certain points in the robot's path, and perform commands like
if..then and loop, based on variables and I/O signals.
2.1.3 Risk assessment
A complete robot installation (Robot system / robot application / robot inte-
gration) is a machine. Since the robot cannot operate without being installed
and without having a specific tool, it is not considered as a complete machine.
A risk assessment shall be performed during each installation of the robot, see
chapter 1.1.
2.2 Transportation
Transport the robot in the original packaging. Save the packaging material in a
dry place; you may need to pack down and move the robot later on.
Lift both tubes of the robot arm at the same time when moving it from the pack-
aging to the installation place. Hold the robot in place until all mounting bolts
are securely tightened at the base of the robot.
The controller box shall be lifted by the handle.

How to turn the different parts of the robot system on and off is described in the
following subsections.

of the teach pendant. When the controller box is turned on, a lot of text will
appear on the screen. After about 20 seconds, the Universal Robot's Logo will

on the screen and a popup will force the user to go to the initialization screen.
2.3.2 Turning on the Robot
The robot can be turned on if the controller box is turned on, and if all emer-
gency stop buttons are not activated. Turning the robot on is done at the ini-
tialization screen, by touching the 'ON' button at the screen, and then pressing
