Figure 3: Example application with workstation
The industrial robot system consists of the following components:
•
Industrial robots
•
End effector(s)
•
Machines, devices, equipment, external auxiliary axes or sensors which support
the robots in doing its task
The primary protective device is a safety light curtain or a multiple light beam safety
device. The secondary protective device is a safety laser scanner.
If a person interrupts the protective field of the primary protective device when
approaching the robot, the robot performs a protective stop. The person then enters the
protective field of the safety laser scanner, which monitors the hazardous area of the
robot and prevents a restart.
If an automated system restart is permitted (based on the risk assessment in accor‐
dance with ISO 12100), the robot will restart automatically as soon as a person leaves
the protective field of the safety laser scanner and the protective field of the primary
protective device is clear.
