Risk assessment
Every application needs a risk assessment covering the robot, the tool, the workpiece and the tasks people perform, including maintenance and recovery from faults.
Typical protective measures
- Fixed fences and interlocked gates
- Light curtains for loading areas
- Laser area scanners with adjustable zones
- Emergency stops and safe speed monitoring
- Safety-rated PLC or controller functions
Cobots and safety
Cobots reduce risk but do not remove it. Tools, workpieces and speed all matter and must be assessed.
