the system, different configurations of the setup are analyzed. Quantitativedifferences, suchascycleand operating timesof theresourcesareobtainedbysim- ulations in ema Work Designer. In order to validate the presented method for safe system modification, four different variants were implemented on the real plant to cover a wide range of variation possibilities. The parameters of six modification dimensions were varied, specifically the product, the resource alloca- tion (trestle feed, insert screw, tighten screw), the position of end effector height and the robot base during collaboration. Significant safety-relevant in- fluencing factors such as speed of the moving robot parts, safety distance, vulnerable human body parts, numberanddurationofexposure tohazardscan thus beassessed. 4.ConclusionandFutureWork Collaborative work systems in an industrial con- text are currently limited if changes need to be taken intoaccount regularly. Althoughrobotprogramming of modern sensitive robots is aimed for users with limited programming skills and becomes more and more sophisticated, safety regulations limit this flex- ibility. An advanced structured approach for safety assessment, as described in this paper, enables safe implementation of modifications to a known extent. Future work will include an extensive comparison between simulated system modifications and mod- ifications on the real experimental setup. Further- more, qualitative differences, e.g. in terms of per- ceived physical workload for the operator will also beanalyzed.
