Safety in Automation and Robotics – A Key Element of Development

When we think about development, modernization, and automation, we do not limit ourselves to increasing profits or improving a company’s competitiveness. We place equal emphasis on the safety of workers and their surroundings. Robotics significantly accelerates the pace of work, which is why it is crucial to clearly define the working space for both humans and machines. When everyone knows their place, they can work safely and efficiently.

Introducing a robot into a company is not just a simple “buy now” purchase. Properly designing a production or assembly line requires the implementation of multiple safety measures to protect both employees and the equipment itself.

External Safety Systems – The Key to Safe Work

We offer a wide range of external safety solutions that ensure protection for all personnel working in close proximity to machines. Depending on the nature of the work and the available options, the following safety systems can be applied:

1. Metal Mesh Fencing – Creates a controlled access area around hazardous zones. Clearly defines boundaries and restricts unauthorized entry to machinery. These fences can be equipped with secured doors or entry gates, monitoring every access to the restricted area.
2. Laser Curtains – Invisible to the human eye, these define the boundaries of the robotic zone. Although more expensive than metal enclosures, they offer greater flexibility, as they can be modified and adjusted to new working conditions, unlike fixed metal cages.
3. Lighting and Acoustic Systems – Provide visual and sound signals to indicate the machine’s operational status and alert workers to potential hazards.
4. Emergency Stop Switches – Allow immediate shutdown of the robot or the entire automated workstation in case of danger. The emergency stop signal takes priority over all other commands, ensuring maximum safety.
5. Curtains with Locking Systems – Lifting the curtain automatically sends a stop signal to the machine, immediately halting its operation.
6. Pressure Strips and Mats – When a person steps into a hazardous area, the system triggers an emergency stop by closing the circuit.
7. Signal Towers – Visual indicators that display the machine’s current operating mode, aiding in process monitoring.

Safety is a Priority

Proper safety measures in the workplace are essential for protecting employees and enhancing production efficiency. By implementing advanced protection systems, we minimize the risk of accidents, improve process control, and enable safe collaboration between humans and machines.
