Concept
Collaborative operation
You might say: cobot safety
Collaborative operation is a deliberately designed state in which a robot and a person can work in a shared workspace.
- What it does
- Sets which monitored stop, guiding, separation, or force-limiting functions the application needs.
- Ask
- Which collaborative mode and contact assumptions did the application risk assessment justify?
Parts
- Contact force limits: Contact-force limits constrain power and force in a power-and-force-limited application; body-specific limits require a risk assessment.
Catalogue: Collaborative mode
- Safety-rated monitored stop: Safety-rated monitored stop is one of the four collaborative operation types described by FANUC America. It counts here because the collaborative function is a safety-rated monitored stop; the shared workspace is not the defining feature.
- Hand guiding: Hand guiding is one of the four collaborative operation types described by FANUC America. It counts here because the collaborative function lets a person hand-guide the robot; the shared workspace is not the defining feature.
- Speed and separation monitoring: Speed and separation monitoring is one of the four collaborative operation types described by FANUC America. It counts here because the function monitors speed and separation; the shared workspace is not the defining feature.
- Power and force limiting: Power and force limiting is one of the four collaborative operation types described by FANUC America. It counts here because the function limits power and force; the shared workspace is not the defining feature.
