Title The safety of industrial robots
Original title Seguridad en robots industriales [in Spanish]
Bibliographic information 1st Quarter 1989, No.33, p.3-12. Illus.
Abstract This article describes the solutions adopted concerning safety systems for industrial robots in a Spanish car factory. Close cooperation existed between the engineering and safety departments for the design, implantation and reception of the robotised installations. Before implanting the robots in the production lines, a test area was prepared, where all the robots were tested. This allowed the maintenance staff to adapt themselves and become acquainted with the new technology, ang also to study repetitive failures, analyse them and make possible modifications.
