Examples of Safe Motion: Safeguarding Detection Zones with a Safe Camera-Based Solution

Until now, interaction between man and robot has largely been characterized by fixed safeguards. A modern camera-based solution offers a whole range of new options in this case. The detection zone covers all three dimensions; one single device meets every requirement when accessing a danger zone and also provides protection against climbing over and crawling under the detection zone. The detection zones can be individually configured and can also enable the speed of the active axes in the monitored zone to be reduced if anyone approaches.
