Safe human-robot interaction in shared workspaces

High safety standards must be observed when humans and robots work together in the same area. Any risk of injury to humans must be completely eliminated. The development of new safety components for safe human-robot interaction is one of our main areas of research.

Robot cell with high workload

Requirements

Integration of a door contactor

Monitoring of the safe position range

  • Safe position detection
  • Axis
  • TCP
  • Joints

Protection of human interaction

  • Monitoring of the hazard zone
  • Safe reduced speed of the robot
  • Safe standstill monitoring of the robot

Solution

 

Configuration of the robot

  • Safely limited speed (TCP, joints)
  • Safe standstill monitoring (robot)

 

 

Human tracking

  • Safe camera, safe laser scanner
  • Safe position range (robot)

 

Our solution for robotics:

The SCU series offers safe master and slave devices. Fast response, convenient and clear programming, optimum and transparent integration of drive safety speak for themselves. In addition to the standard functions for input, output and logic processing, special functions for time and functionally demanding applications are integrated. Deterministic program runs guarantee defined response times. With the optional fast channel processing, very fast, guaranteed reactions (4 ms), e.g. to a light curtain, are also possible. Synchronous sampling, fieldbus communication and processing enable the monitoring of variables from kinematic models of a drive group, e.g. TCP monitoring, etc.

 

Advantages

  • Easy & powerful programming with the SafePLC2 software tool - Simple and transparent programming and parameterization
  • SARC functionality, safe arithmetic functions for easy implementation of your solution
  • Extensive library with actuators & sensors
  • Scalable hardware & software
  • Open for centralized & decentralized solutions
  • Certified up to IEC 61508 SIL 3 and EN ISO 13849-1:2015 PL e
