Safety with cooperative robot applications

Safe Robotics Area Protection is a safety system for protecting cooperative robot applications. The system ensure safe, free access for the worker in the hazardous area of the robot. This optimizes work processes. This is made possible with simple adjustment of the field sets of the safety laser scanner to the requirements of the respective production process step. The robot reduces its speed when approaching the worker, depending on the distance. A two-stage reduction or increase in robot speed minimizes downtimes and results in higher productivity.
