2. Preface Congratulations on the purchase of your new Universal Robots e-Series robot. The robot can be programmed to move a tool, and communicate with other machines using electrical signals. It is an arm composed of extruded aluminum tubes and joints.
Page 127
The joints, the base and the tool flange of the Robot Arm. With six joints and a wide scope of flexibility, Universal Robots e-Series collaborative robot arms are designed to mimic the range of motion of a human arm. Using our patented programming interface, PolyScope, it is easy to program the robot to move tools and communicate with other machines using electrical signals.
Page 128
Universal Robots disclaims any liability, even though all guidelines contained within this document are followed. Always perform a thorough risk assessment for the specific application. Consult the safety section in the Universal Robots User Manual for general precautions. UR16e PolyScope X User Manual...

3. Robot Arm Basics The Universal Robots robot arm is composed of tubes and joints. The coordinated motion of these tubes and joints, via PolyScope X software, moves the robot arm. • Base: where the robot arm is mounted. • Shoulder and Elbow: where the larger movements originate. •...

4. Install the robot To start using PolyScope X, make sure your robot arm and Control Box are assembled and the power cable is plugged in. 4.1. Assembling the robot arm and Control Box If the robot is not assembled, you may need to assemble and mount the robot arm and Control Box. WARNING Tipping hazard.
Page 131
5. PolyScope X Overview PolyScope X is the Graphical User Interface (GUI) installed on the Teach Pendant that operates the robot arm via a touch screen. The PolyScope X interface allows you to create, load and execute programs. 5.0.1. Screen Layout The interface is divided as shown in the following illustration: •...

7. Safety WARNING Before you configure your robot safety settings, your integrator must conduct a risk assessment to guarantee the safety of personnel and equipment around the robot. A risk assessment is an evaluation of all work procedures throughout the robot lifetime, conducted in order to apply correct safety configuration settings.

7.4. Safety Menu Settings 7.4.1. Robot Limits Limit Description Power limits maximum mechanical work produced by the robot in the environment. This limit considers the payload a part of the robot and not of the environment. Momentum limits maximum robot momentum. Stopping Time limits maximum time it takes the robot to stop e.g.

The safety functions listed in the table below can be used with the input signals Input Signals System Emergency Stop This is an emergency stop button alternative to the one on the Teach Pendant, providing the same functionality if the device complies with ISO 13850.
Page 140
Output Signals System Emergency Stop Signal is Low when the safety system has been triggered into an Emergency Stopped state by the Robot Emergency Stop input or the Emergency Stop Button. To avoid deadlocks, if the Emergency Stopped state is triggered by the System Emergency Stop input, low signal will not be given.

• Disabled: The safety plane is never active in this state. • Normal: When the safety system is in Normal mode, a normal plane is active and it acts as a strict limit on the position. • Reduced: When the safety system is in Reduced mode, a reduced mode plane is active and it acts as a strict limit on the position.

8. Operational Mode Description Operational Modes are enabled in the UI, and protected by a password. They can additionally be configured by defining an Operational Mode Configurable I/O. Automatic Mode Once activated, the robot can only perform the loaded pre-defined task. The Application Tab, Program Tab, 3D Tab and Freedrive Mode are unavailable.
Page 143
Switching Modes To switch between modes, in the Right Header, select the profile icon to display the Mode Section. • Automatic indicates the operational mode of the robot is set to Automatic. • Manual indicates the operational mode of the robot is set to Manual.

10. Glossary Stop Category 0 Robot motion is stopped by immediate removal of power to the robot. It is an uncontrolled stop, where the robot can deviate from the programmed path as each joint brake as fast as possible. This robot stop is used if a safety-related limit is exceeded or in case of a fault in the safety-related parts of the control system.
