In the age of advanced automation, industrial robots have become indispensable players within production facilities. Their efficiency, precision, and ability to operate continuously are highly valued. Yet, with their growing presence comes a crucial responsibility: ensuring the safety of human operators who interact with these machines. Protecting robots and robotic cells is not merely about
The implementation of industrial and service robots has transformed multiple sectors, from manufacturing to personal care services. However, the rise of these technologies demands a priority focus on safety. In a recent presentation by engineer Theo Jacobs for the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation (IPA), the importance of ensuring that robots are safe
Currently, robots play a fundamental role in the automation of industrial processes. However, their presence also poses challenges in terms of workplace safety. Here are some key points to ensure a safe industrial environment when working with robots: 1. Enclosures and Safety Fences Delimiting work areas with safety fences is essential. These physical barriers prevent
