2.6.9 Presence Sensing Device
The above mentioned safeguard interlock is a type of presence sensing device, since it
indicates the possibility of somebody being inside the safeguard system. When separately
installing a presence sensing device, however, perform a satisfactory risk assessment and
pay thorough attention to its dependability.
Here are precautions that should be noted:
-
Design the system so that when the presence sensing device is not activated or a
dangerous situation still exists that no personnel can go inside the safeguard area or
place their hands inside it.
- Design the presence sensing device so that regardless of the situation the system
operates safely.
- If the robot stops operating when the presence sensing device is activated, it is
necessary to ensure that it does not start again until the detected object has been
removed. Make sure that the robot cannot automatically restart.
2.6.10 Resetting the Safeguard
Ensure that the robot system can only be restarted through careful operation from outside
the safeguarded system. The robot will never restart simply by resetting the safeguard
interlock switch. Apply this concept to the interlock gates and presence sensing devices for
the entire system.
2.6.11 Robot Operation Panel
Ensure that the robot system can be operated from outside of the safeguard.
