IMPLEMENTATION OF SAFETY SYSTEMS IN APPLICATIONS WITH COLLABORATIVE ROBOTS

Vasile GUSAN, Aurel Mihail ȚÎȚU

Abstract


Currently, collaborative robots represent a viable alternative to improve the efficiency, effectiveness and quality of a serial manufacturing process. They can be found in more and more manufacturing flows both in the automotive industry and in other industries. Collaborative robots can be integrated and used in numerous manufacturing processes. Although collaborative robots were created to share the work environment with the operator, there are applications where collaborative robots operate tools at high speed in the manufacturing flow. Due to this aspect, it was necessary to think of and implement a safety system that will additionally protect the human when interacting with the collaborative robot. The scientific work presents a safety system that can be implemented in applications with collaborative robots.
