Safe human-robot collaboration (HRC)

The closer man and machine can work together, the more efficient work practices become. In this way you can combine the capabilities of people and the advantages of robots like their strength, stamina and speed. The new type of collaborative robot, known as cobots, allow humans and robots to share the same working space at the same time. A safety fence is no longer needed. This type of collaboration increasingly requires new technologies and solutions. What conditions need to be met to ensure injury-free interaction between human and machine? How is the CE marking conformity assessment procedure carried out? We show you everything you have to consider when examining an HRC application and what measures you have to take.

• Basics of robot safety
• Safety solutions compliant with standards such as DIN EN ISO 10218-2 and ISO/TS 15066
• Risk assessments and safeguarding of collaborative robot systems
• Execution of risk assessments based on a sample application
• Significance of and need for validation
• Basic information about collision measurement
• Identification of measuring points and sensor positioning
• Collision measurement based on limit values of ISO/TS 15066

Your optimum route to qualification:

• Introduction: Web-based training: Machinery Safety – Introduction and Practical Implementation
• Fundamental: Risk Assessment Workshop
• Advanced: Safe Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC)
• Expert: CMSE® – Certified Machinery Safety Expert

• Design engineering managers, technical engineering managers, design engineers
• Robot system integrators, programmers
• Safety officers
• Project engineers in production units

You will learn everything about the entire measuring method, including its implementation in accordance with ISO/TS 15066, in the workshop on the HRC collision measurement set PRMS.

• Increase the efficiency of work processes by implementing safe human-robot collaboration.
• Learn about the application of relevant standards for your projects.
• Optimise your knowledge about the procedure to be followed as part of the risk assessment of robot systems.
