Intended use

The Gripper is industrial equipment and intended as an end effector or tool for industrial robots. It is intended for
pick and place operations of a variety of different objects.
The RG2 gripper is intended for use with robots from Universal Robots. The information in this manual about
electrical connections, programming and use of the gripper are described only for robots from Universal Robots.
CAUTION:
Use without a UR robot is not described in this manual and misuse can cause damage to the gripper
or the connected equipment.
Collaborative use of the gripper, were humans are close to or within the work area, is only intended for non-
hazardous applications, where the complete application, including the object, is without any significant risks
according to the risk assessment of the specific application.
Any use or application deviating from the intended use is deemed to be impermissible misuse. This includes, but
is not limited to:
1. Use in potentially explosive environments.
2. Use in medical and life critical applications.
3. Use before performing a risk assessment.
3.6

Risk assessment

It is important to make a risk assessment. Since the Gripper itself is considered partly completed machinery, it is
also important to follow the guidelines in the manuals of all additional machines in the application.
It is recommended that the integrator uses guidelines in ISO 12100 and ISO 10218-2 to conduct the risk
assessment.
Below is listed some potential dangerous situations that the integrator as a minimum must take to consideration.
Please note that there can be other dangerous situations depending on the specific situation.
1. Entrapment of limbs between the grippers finger arms.
2. Penetration of skin by sharp edges and sharp points on the object.
3. Consequences due to incorrect mounting of the gripper.
4. Objects falling out of the gripper, e.g. due to incorrect gripping force or to high acceleration from a robot.
Specifications is periodically reviewed and may change without notice
