Doc No.:T202001006 www.elibot.cn 1. Please install the robot and all electrical equipments in accordance with the requirements and specification in the manual. 2. The preliminary test and inspection mustbe implemented for the robot and its protective system before using the robot for the first time or putting into production. 3. Before starting the system and equipment for the first time, you must check whether the equipment and system are complete, operate safely, and detect any damage.During the detection, that whether it is in line with the effective safety production rules and regulations of the country or the region must be observed, and all safety functions must be tested. 4. Make sure that all safety parameters and user programs are correct and all safety functions run normally. The person qualified to operate the robot should check each safety function. The robot cannot be started until the robot passes comprehensive and careful safety test and reaches the safety level. 1. The professional staff are required to install and debug the robot in accordance with the installation standards. 2. Upon completion of installation and construction of the robot, the comprehensive risk assessment should be implemented again, with the document records kept. 3. Only the authorized personnel could set and change the safety parameters, and the passwords or the isolation measures must be used to prevent the unauthorized personnel from changing or setting the safety parameters. When the safety factors are revised, the related safety functions must to be analyzed. 4. When the robot is trapped in accident or runs abnormally, the emergency stop switch may be pressed to stop the action of the robot. 5. The brake is installed in the EC612 joint module, to maintain the pose of the robot arm when the power is switched off. Do not artificially switch the power supply system on and off frequently. It is recommended that the time interval of switching on and off the machine should be more than 10 seconds. 6. The EC612 has the collision detection function. When the external force of powering on the robot arm exceeds a normal force of the user’s safety setting, the robot arm will stop automatically, as to prevent the robot or the operating personnel from injury due to collision. The function is dedicatedly designed by the EC612 for the safety of human-machine collaborative work. However, the robot system is required to run within the normal range, and the control box of the ELITE collaborative robot series must be used. If the user develops the controller himself/herself, the robot will not have the abovementioned function. Moreover, the user must be responsible for the dangerous consequence brought herefrom.

Doc No.:T202001006 www.elibot.cn 1. The robot and the control box may generate heat during running. When the robot is working or just stops working, please do not operate or touch the robot. 2. The robot may not be cooled down after turning off the power supply within an hour. 3. Do not put your finger around the heating part of the control box. 1. Make sure that the robot arm and tools are properly and securely installed in place. 2. Make sure that the robot arm has ample space to operate freely. 3. Never use the robot which is damaged. 4. Do not connect any safety equipment to normal I/O interface. Use safety-related interface only. 5. Make sure to implement the correct installation settings (such as the robot installation angle, mass in TCP, TCP offset, safety configuration). Save and load the installation file into the program. 6. The tool and obstacles shall not have sharp angles or pinch points. Make sure that heads and faces of all people are kept outside the reach of the robot. 7. Be aware of robot motion when using the teach pendant. 8. Any impact will release a lot of kinetic energy, which is much higher than that at high speed and high payload. 9. Combination of different machines can increase hazards or create new hazards. Always make an overall risk assessment for the complete installation. When different safety and emergency stop performance levels are needed, always choose the highest performance level. Always read and understand the manuals of all equipments to be used during installation. 10. Never modify the robot. A modification might create hazards that are unforeseen by the integrator. The authorized reassembling of the robot shall be done in accordance with all relevant service manuals of the latest versions. If the robot is changed or altered in any way, Suzhou Elite Robot Co., Ltd. will not take any responsibility. 11. Before transporting the robot, the user needs to check the insulation and the protective measures. 12. Comply with the transportation requirements when carrying the robot, as to carry carefully and avoid bumping. 1. When the robot is combined, or works with the machines capable of damaging the robot, it is highly recommended to test all functions and the robot program separately. It is recommended to use the temporary waypoints outside the workspaces of other machines to detect the robot program. 2. Suzhou Elite Robot Co., Ltd.will not take any responsibility for the damage of the robot or personal injury due to programming errors or improper operation of the robot. 3.

All operating personnel using the robot system should not wear loose clothing or jewellery when working with the robot. Long hair must be tied back when working with the robot. 3. When the equipment runs, the robot is in the state of implementing imminent action probably because the robot is waiting for a starting signal although it seems to have stopped. Even in this state, the robot should be regarded as being in action. 4. Lines should be drawn on the floor to mark the range of action of the robot, in this way the operator may know the range of action of the robot including the clamping tool (the manipulator, the tool and so on). 5. Make sure that the safety measures (for example, guardrails, ropes, or protective screens) are established near an operating area of the robot, as to protect the operator and the surrounding people. The locks should be arranged in accordance with the need so that the person outside the operating personnel in charge of operation cannot touch the power supply of the robot. 6. When using the operation panel and the teach pendant, operations cannot be implemented until the gloves are taken off as there may be operational errors if the gloves are worn. 7. In emergency and abnormal cases, such as a person is clamped or surrounded by a robot, the joint can be forced to move by pushing or pulling the robot arm hard (at least 700 N). If there is no electric drive available, the robot arm may be moved manually only in case of emergency, however the joint may be damaged.

Doc No.:T202001006 www.elibot.cn 1.4 Liabilities and Specifications EC612, which is partly completed, may form a complete machine with other equipments. Therefore, the information in this manual neither covers how to design, install and operate one complete robot comprehensively, nor covers all possibilities of affecting safety of the peripheral equipment of the complete system. The installation safety of the complete robot shall depend on how the robot is integrated. The integrator should comply with the laws, regulations, safety specifications and standards of the country where the integrator is located to implement the risk assessment for design and installation of the complete system. The risk assessment is one of the most important tasks that the integrator must complete. The integrator may implement the risk assessment process by using the following standards for reference. • ISO 12100:2010 Safety of machinery - General principles for design - Risk assessment and risk reduction • ISO 10218-2:2011 Robots and robotic devices - Safety requirements for industrial robots - Part 2: Industrial robot system and integration • RIA TR R15.306-2014 Technical report of industrial robots and robot systems - Safety requirements and task-based risk assessment method • ANSI B11.0-2010 Safety of machinery – General requirements and risk assessment The ELITE robot integrator should perform, but not limited to, following responsibilities: • Make a comprehensive risk assessment for the complete robot system. • Confirm that the whole system is designed and installed accurately. • Provide the user and the staff with training. • Create the operation specification of the complete system and clarify the instructions of using the robot. • Establish appropriate safety measures. • Eliminate the hazards or minimize all hazards to acceptable levels with appropriate methods during the final installation • Pass the remaining risks to the end-user. • Mark the logo and contact information of the integrator on the robot • Archive the related technical documents. For reference to applicable standards and legal guide, please visit the website: www.elibot.cn. All safety-related information contained in this manual shall not be regarded as the warranty of Suzhou Elite Robot Co., Ltd. Even though all safety instructions are followed, the personnel injury

Doc No.:T202001006 www.elibot.cn or equipment damage caused by the operating personnel may occur as well. Suzhou Elite Robot Co., Ltd. is committed to continuously improving reliability and performance of the products, and accordingly reserves the right to upgrade the products without prior notice. Suzhou Elite Robot Co., Ltd. strives to ensure accuracy and reliability of the contents in this manual, but takes no responsibility for any errors or missing information herein. 1.5 Danger Identification Potential interaction 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 operators should not be exposed, as to avoid bumping. 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 result from using 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 through the risk assessment, then 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 EC612 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 final users. Through this document, any remaining risks of the robot before installation may be passed to the integrator and the final 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 the risk until the risk is reduced to the acceptable level. It is unsafe to use the robot before taking the appropriate risk reduction measures (if needed).

Page 15 of 130

Doc No.:T202001006 www.elibot.cn If the robot is installed non-collaboratively (for example, when using the dangerous tool), the risk assessment may infer that the integrator needs to connect to an additional safety device (for example, a safety starting device) when programming, as to ensure personnel and equipment safety. 1.6 Intended Use The ELITE collaborative robot should be used on general industrial equipment only, for example, operate or fix the tool or the equipment, process or convey the parts and the products. The ELITE robot must be used only under the specified condition. For specific information about the relevant operating environment and operating conditions, please refer to the appendix. The ELITE collaborative robot has the special safety level characteristics and may implement the collaborative operation, namely, the ELITE collaborative robot may be used in absence of the peripheral safety protective device, however, only in the case that no danger occurs in accordance with the risk assessment. Namely, on the premise that no safety protective device and the on-site sensor are used, anticipated or accidental contact between the staff and the ELITE collaborative robot or its end effector or the part would not constitute the unacceptable risk, and the anticipated or accidental contact with other objects (the tool, the equipment, the surface and so on) in the workspace would not constitute the unacceptable risk as well. The robot controller and the robot should be used on the general industrial equipment only and cannot be applied to the application breaching the intended uses. The prohibited use includes, but are not limited to, the following situations: • Used in flammable and explosive environment, and other dangerous environment. • Used on the device of moving or carrying human or other animals. • Used on the device, such as the medical device involving in the human life. • Usedon the device which greatly influences the sociality and the publicity. • Used in the environment subjected to vibration, such as the vehicle and the ship. • Used as the climbing tool.

Doc No.:T202001006 www.elibot.cn 1.7 Handling of Emergency Situations 1.7.1 Emergency stop device All motions of the robot may be stopped upon pressing the emergency stop button. The emergency stop cannot be taken as the measure of reducing the risk, however can be taken as the secondary protective device. If multiple emergency stop buttons need to be connected, the emergency stop device must be incorporated into the risk assessment of the robot application. The emergency stop button should meet the requirements of IEC 60947-5-5. The EC612 is equipped with the emergency stop buttons on the control box and the teach pendant. The button should be pressed only when meeting the dangerous situations or emergencies, as shown in following figure. The control box is equipped with the external emergency stop button port, and the integrator or the user can use it in accordance with the actual situations. Figure 1-1 Emergency stop button The tool or equipment connecting to the end, if constituting the potential threat, must be integrated into the emergency stop loop of the system. If falling to comply with the caution, personal injury,serious property damage and even death may be caused.

Page 17 of 130

Doc No.:T202001006 www.elibot.cn 1.7.2 Resuming from the state of emergency All emergency stop equipments in form of button have "Locking" function. The "Lock" must be unlocked, as to end the emergency stop state of the equipments. The "Lock" may be unlocked by rotating the emergency stop button. Resuming from the emergency stop state is a simple and important step which can be operated only when the danger of the robot system is eliminated completely. 1.7.3 Forced emergency movement of the joints In rare cases, one or more robot joints may need to be moved under the emergency situations, namely, the power supply of the robot is trapped in failure or the operating personnel does not want to use the power supply. In this way, the robot joints are forced to move through the following method: Forced reverse drive: push or pull the robot arm hard (at least 700N), as to force the joints to move. Forced manual movement of the robot arm should be operated only in case of emergency, however the joints may be damaged. 1.7.4 Over-strong-force safety protection of the robot arm The robot arm has the over-strong-force safety protection function. When the robot arm is powered on statically, and when the operating personnel or other objects bump against the robot arm accidentally and the impact force exceeds a safety threshold, the robot arm may move along with a direction of the impact force. The function may ensure that the damage to the personnel, other objects and the robot arm is reduced when the operating personnel or other objects bump against the

Page 18 of 130

Doc No.:T202001006 www.elibot.cn robot arm. The function may reduce the damage as a result of impact, and the risk assessment must be implemented when used for other purposes.

Page 73 of 130

DOC No.:T202001006 www.elibot.cn 9.2.2.2 Cartesian Coordinates Robot’s Cartesian coordinates is also called the geodetic coordinates. The direction of the Cartesian coordinates of each manipulator type is different, and the position of the corresponding Cartesian coordinate origin is also different. After setting the manipulator’s parameters, the origin and direction of the Cartesian coordinates are determined, and the direction of the Cartesian coordinates cannot be modified. In a non-singular position, the manipulator can move parallel to the X-, Y-, or Z-axes. When using a manipulator of 6 axes, rotation Rx, Ry, Rz can also be performed, Rx rotates around the X axis, Ry rotates around the Y axis, and Rz rotates around the Z axis respectively, following the right-hand rule. Taking a manipulator of 6 axes as an example, the directions of motion are as shown below. 9.2.2.3 Tool Coordinates The tool coordinates are defined at the tip of the tool, assuming that the effective direction of the tool mounted on the manipulator wrist flange is the Z-axis. Therefore, the tool coordinates axis direction moves with the wrist. In tool coordinates motion, the manipulator can be moved using the effective tool direction

Page 74 of 130

DOC No.:T202001006 www.elibot.cn as a reference regardless of the manipulator position or orientation. These motions are best suited when the manipulator is required to move parallel while maintaining the tool orientation with the workpieces. User can set the tool coordinates number 0-7 according to the actual tool conditions. 9.2.2.4 User Coordinates The user coordinates are defined by teaching the manipulator three points, and the manipulator moves parallel to each axis of the coordinates which are set by the user. The user can set the user coordinates number 0-7 as needed.

DOC No.:T202001006 www.elibot.cn 9.2.2.5 Cylindrical Coordinates In the cylindrical coordinates, the manipulator rotates around the Z axis of the body or moves parallel to the Z axis at right angles. The θ-axes, R-axes and Z-axes directions of the cylindrical coordinates are shown as below.

Page 76 of 130

DOC No.:T202001006 www.elibot.cn 9.2.2.6 Control Points Remain Unchanged The operation in which the control point remains unchanged means that the position of the tool tip point (control point) is not changed, and only the axis operation of the tool posture is changed. Turning of each wrist axis differs in each coordinate system. In Cartesian or cylindrical coordinates, wrist axis rotations are based on the X-, Y-, or Z-axis. In the Cartesian/cylindrical coordinates, the X-, Y-, and Z-axis of the body are used as the reference for the rotate motion.

Page 77 of 130

DOC No.:T202001006 www.elibot.cn In tool coordinates, wrist axis rotations are based on X-, Y-, or Z-axis of the tool coordinates. In user coordinates, wrist axis rotations are based on X-, Y-, or Z-axis of the user coordinates.

Before playback operation, first select the program to be executed in the program list, and press [OPEN] in the submenu area to open the program. Then move the cursor to the starting line where the program is executed. Generally, the program is executed from the NOP line. 9.4.1.2 Selecting Operation Cycles Switch to PLAY mode, press the icon in the status control area to select one of three types of manipulator operation cycles: SINGLE STEP: Executes one step (instruction) at a time. SINGLE CYCLE: Executes a program once. The program will be executed again if [PROGRAM START] button is pressed. CONTINUOUS CYCLE: Repeats a program continuously. Please select the appropriate one according to your requirements. 9.4.1.3 Modifying Play Speed The TEACH mode and PLAY mode use different speed values. After switching to PLAY mode, the speed can be modified to an appropriate level by following the instructions shown in Section 9.2.1. 9.4.2 Playback Operation 9.4.2.1 Startup After completing all above preparations, first press [SERVO ENABLE] button on the bottom right corner of the programming pendant. The SERVO ON lamp lights up when the

DOC No.:T202001006 www.elibot.cn servo is enabled. Then press [PROGRAM START] button , and the program starts running automatically. 9.4.2.2 Modifying Speed in Play Mode When the program is executed in PLAY mode, [SPEED CONTROL] buttons are invalid and the speed value cannot be modified. If speed adjustment is required in this mode, first press [PROGRAM PAUSE] button to pause the program. Then change the speed value and press [PROGRAM START] button to resume the program execution. 9.4.2.3 Stop and Restart  Program Pause Operation In PLAY mode, if the program pause operation is executed, the program will pause at the current line, and the moving manipulator will slow down and stop. There are two ways to pause the program: 1) Press [PROGRAM PAUSE] button on the programming pendant. 2) Use the external input signal. The program pause operation will be executed when the input “EXT-HD” of the dedicated IO board is valid.  Emergency Stop Operation If the emergency stop operation is executed, the servo power will be turned OFF and the manipulator will stop immediately. There are three methods for executing emergency stop operation: 1) Press [EMERGENCY STOP] button on the programming pendant. 2) Press [EMERGENCY STOP] button on the cabinet. 3) Use the external input signal. The emergency stop operation will be executed when the input “EXT-SP” of the dedicated IO board is invalid. After an emergency stop, first correct the cause of the alarm and then reset [EMERGENCY STOP] button. After that, the alarm reset and program start operations for programming pendant
