Layers of safeguarding
- Fixed fences and guards around the cell
- Interlocked doors that stop motion when opened
- Light curtains and area scanners at openings
- Speed and separation monitoring for shared spaces
Habits that matter
- Lockout before reaching into a cell
- Test every safety device at the start of a shift
- Never bypass an interlock to save time
Start with a risk assessment
List every task a person does near the robot, including cleaning and fixing jams, and design the guarding around those tasks.
