Requirements for the safe application of robots

The aim is to give the participants an understanding for the basic robot safety requirements. The training course covers, amongst other things, the assessment of risks in connection with the use of robot systems as the risks here are different from those on conventional machines. We show you the typical measures for risk reduction and the use of various safety strategies. In addition, it is stated how to guarantee high availability and productivity, while taking safety requirements into account.
