1.2.3. Safety actions

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.
