Machine guards for industrial robots

Machine guards for industrial robotsIndustrial automation: the evolution of workplace safety Innovation in the industrial sector has led to the introduction of robots, which are in turn changing the management of spaces within factories. The ever-increasing adoption of robot cells in several industrial applications entails the installation of mandatory protective measures for robots and robotized areas in order to preserve the safety of workers. Safety requirements for industrial robots: the UNI EN ISO 10128-2 standard More than ever, operators are sharing their working spaces with automated machinery and industrial robots. This has prompted the need to define universal standards for the safety of machinery/industrial facilities and, thus, that of operators. The international, Type-C EN ISO 10218-2:2011 technical standard sets the safety requirements for the integration of industrial robots, industrial robotic systems and robotic cells. Robots-related safety standards: hazards and risks Robotic cells are defined as teams of machines that include one or more robots,

FastGuard: protecting machinery, saving valuable time

FastGuard Perimeter Safety FencesProtecting machinery, saving valuable time From October 1st 2021, the Satech Perimeter Fences GreenFast line changes its name to FastGuard. A new name to remark the Speed of Assembly of our Perimeter Fencing System with no posts which we have recently renovated and optimized. A solution which has no competitor in the whole market. Lightweight, quick and regulation compliant Your machinery cannot be started unless protected by regulation-compliant Safety devices and/or Perimeter Fences, designed according to Standards (such as EN ISO 14120). In case of large perimeters - especially when featuring long straight sections - the Machine Guards assembly time can contribute to delay machinery testing and starting. FastGuard is a simple, quick, yet safe Safety Fence Solution to protect workers from the risks associated with automated machinery. Designed according to EN ISO 14120 Standards, it features the “classic” Satech anti-climb framed mesh panel and a special self-supporting

PANELS for TEMPORARY DEMARCATION of areas

This new system of SATECH panels has been specifically designed to segregate the areas where machinery and plan is operated and maintained. The panels are assembled on robust supports equipped with wheels. This allows personnel to operate in the areas that need to be isolated as assembly or maintenance is completed while moving alongside the machine or system. Maximum efficiency of the system is achieved by using the GREEN FAST series of panels.

CLIP SPACER for Basic System

In order to simplify assembly SATECH has developed a spacer for a quick and correct placement of the BASIC System lower clip, according to the current regulation for minimum floor clearance EN 349 – EN 13857. By inserting the spacer above the baseplate you automatically get the distance of the mounting clips from the soil (140 mm).

ANTI TAMPERING PLATE for ANTI-PANIC LOCK

In order to make tampering with Anti-Panic locks from the outside more dificult an additional lock plate is now available. This Plate can be positioned in order to prevent the improper operation of the panic lock by the use of rods, hooks, wrenches or other improvised devices.

NEW SUPPORT BRACKET FOR HANDLE AND MAGNET STOP

SATECH’s constant research to improve the accessories for the perimeter protection has led to the design of a new support bracket. The new bracket secures both the door handle and the magnet stop. This reduces both the number of components, the assembly time and in addition anything protruding from the door opening
