Safety Certified


 

3D Safeguarding 

Monitors the entire volume of a workcell in 3D, ensuring that the robot operates safely in any scenario, and implements dynamic Speed and Separation Monitoring (SSM) as defined by ISO 10218-2:2011 and ISO/TS 15066:2016, enabling safe interaction between humans and robots.


 

Dynamic Protective Separation Distance

A real-time understanding of the space enables dynamic computation of the extent of this robot hazard, which moves with the robot and workpiece. It calculates possible future robot positions and signals the robot to stop by sending safety outputs that indicate if the robot is closer to a human than the Protective Separation Distance (PSD).

 

 

Connection to Robot Controller

Responds to a PSD violation by issuing a dual channel safety output signal to indicate whether or not the robot should stop. When the PSD violation is cleared, FreeMove® allows the robot to safely restart.


 

Static Hazards

Safeguard additional non-robot hazards such as conveyors, workpieces, fixtures, etc.


 

Tracked Objects & Dynamic Blanking

Blank large objects in your workcell such as workpieces so they do not trigger PSD violations.


 

PLC Support

 

Supports common PLC architectures such as Allen Bradley and Siemens.
