Guarding

Guarding is minimal and features a steel and acrylic screen on two sides and by a SICK microScan3 Core Safety Laser Scanner on the other two sides

This lack of conventional guarding coupled with an angled robot mounting base allows very easy and uncluttered access to the machine

Complies to European safety standards

Warning area - audible warning signal given if entered and robot slows to 10% of programmed speed

Protect Area - robot will stop immediatley if entered

Operator safety is assured by two monitored zones:
