The safety challenge of industrial robot workstations lies not in a single movement, but the continuous 3D motion of robot arms, clamps and workpieces. When robots rotate, extend and swing at high speed, personnel approaching for commissioning, sampling, cleaning or maintenance may suffer collision, pinching and entanglement hazards.
CYNDAR safety light curtains can build open invisible fences around robot workstations, focusing protection on loading/unloading ports, maintenance openings, automatic tool change zones and personnel access passages. Robots keep automatic operation when no person enters. Once personnel step into the protected zone, CYNDAR safety light curtains trigger safety interlock to stop robot movements, offering a more flexible protection solution than traditional fixed guards.
For welding robot applications, CYNDAR safety light curtains need to resist arc light, welding spatter, high temperature and electromagnetic interference. CYNDAR safety light curtains for robot scenarios feature arc-light resistance, high temperature resistance and strong environmental adaptability. They can work with area blanking, muting or series connection functions to meet safety control requirements of different workstations.
Key points:
- Protected area: robot perimeter, loading & unloading port, maintenance opening
- Protection method: invisible fence, zone interlock
- Environmental requirement: arc light resistance, high temperature resistance, anti-electromagnetic interference
- Value: improve workstation flexibility and reduce operation limits from fixed guards
