Dual Safety
10/05/2010
The magazine www.automationworld.com draws the attention of designers to integrated safety available with modern robots.
-
Integrated safety systems such as FANUC Dual Check Safety (DCS position speed check) allow to place perimeter guarding closer to the robot saving precious factory floor space.
-
Automation suppliers now can offer integrated robot safety solutions designed to be more effective in preventing accidents, less costly to implement, easier to adapt, and more reliable than existing hard-wired systems.
-
FANUC robots additionally are already certified according to the latest industrial safety norm ISO 13849-1 (which is going to replace EN 954 in the next 2 years in Europe).
