1.2.3. Safety actions
1.2.3.1. Safety fence dimensions
General
Install a safety cell around the robot to ensure safe robot installation and operation.
Dimensioning
Dimension the fence or enclosure to enable it to withstand the force created if the load being
handled by the robot is dropped or released at maximum speed. Determine the maximum
speed from the maximum velocities of the robot axes and from the position at which the robot
is working in the work cell (see
Product Specification
-
Description, Robot Motion
).
Also consider the maximum possible impact caused by a breaking or malfunctioning rotating
tool or other device fitted to the robot.
