…company. Elite Robots added that it complies with the ISO 10218-1 and ISO 13849-1 safety standards. The CS series currently includes models with payloads of 3, 6, and 12 kg (6.6, 13.2, and 26.4 lb.). The CS620 further expands the range of applications with a 20 kg (44 lb.) payload and 1,800 mm (70.8 in.) reach. The robot can operate at a speed of up to 3.9 m/s, exceeding that of counterparts by up to 35%, claimed Elite Robots. The CS620 is designed to effectively perform medium-to-high payload tasks such as handling heavy parts or palletizing, it noted. CS620 uses…

…Liu, KTH Context awareness said to be better than ISO standard Liu noted that the new technology came out before the latest International Organization for Standards (ISO) requirements for collaborative robot safety, so implementation would require industrial action. But the context awareness offers better efficiency than the one-dimensional interaction workers now experience with robots, he claimed. “Under the ISO standard and technical specification, when a human approaches a robot, it slows down, and if he or she comes close enough, it will stop,” he said. “If the person moves away, it resumes. That's a pretty low level of context awareness.”…

…requiring more specific robotic safety measures. Updates coming to ISO 10218 Carole Franklin There is some work being done to update the current standards. One of the most foundational documents outlining robot safety is ISO 10218, which is broken up into two parts. Part 1 addresses the requirements of robots, and Part 2 addresses integrating robots into a system, Carole Franklin, director of standards development at the Association for Advancing Automation (A3 and formerly the Robotics Industries Association), told Robotics 24/7. The two parts are being updated for the first time since the last version was published in 2011, and…

…world, said A3. As the convenor of the committee ISO/TC 299 WG3 (ISO/TC 184/SC2), she lead the introduction of ISO/TS 15066. As an extension of the established ISO 10218, it is the first document defining standardized safety requirements within human-robot-collaboration. Roberta Nelson Shea. Source: A3 That group is currently revising ISO 10218-1 and ISO 10218-2. For more than 23 years, Nelson Shea has served as chair of the committee that oversees the R15.06 robot safety standard. Her commitment to safety is evident in her involvement with the NIOSH/OSHA/RIA Alliance, R15.08, and many other standards committees, noted A3. Nelson Shea was…

…of high-performance plastics and works almost particle-free, according to ISO Class 2, even in high-speed applications. Microscopic debris can ruin electronic components, semiconductors, and displays, noted igus. Machines moving at high speeds, such as SCARA robots that move along four axes in less than a second, can release particles from corrugated hoses and tubes. “Finding a way to guide cables and hoses on a SCARA robot in a cleanroom is a science in itself,” said Matthias Meyer, head of the triflex and Robotics Business Unit at igus. “Fast movements are pure stress for the material, which releases unwelcome abrasion particles.”…

…Industries Association (RIA) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). There are, however, “very specific guidelines (ISO 10218) established to determine safe operation conditions for robotic devices and the cell around the robot,” Tallian notes. Second, “both organizations recommend that a trained professional perform a risk evaluation of your operation prior to installing equipment,” he explains. “Make sure you understand the amount of force a robot may impart if it contacts a person, and that speed and torque limiting features should be integral to the robot’s design to prevent injury.” Third, the robotic palletizer’s task parameters may preclude a collaborative…

Last week, she received an Engelberger Award at this year's Automate Show in Detroit. The award is named after Joseph F. Engelberger, who is considered “the founding force behind industrial robotics,” according to A3. The award is among the highest that one can receive in robotics. A3 said it recognized Nelson Shea the honor for her work in advancing robot safety. Robotics 24/7 spoke with Nelson Shea about the latest developments in robotic safety and where she…
