Robot safety
The BBH Products Safety controls are excellent safety related tools for robot cells and robot system technology.
- The requirements for robot safety are continuously growing
- Not only 6 axis robots has high demand for robot safety for instance in automotive or packaging industries
- Smaller robots has a strong demand for men-to-machine collaboration
- Applications with delta robots, SCARA Robots and linear robots especially in Pick-and-Place needs safety related shut down and reduced motion functions
- Up-to-date standards demand safe motion for robots
- Work cells can not any more closed and separated, there is always a requirement for motion within a open cell
Normative approach
The following international standards are demanding safety of robot motion
