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,
