Content | Problem During revision and restructuring of the standards governing industrial robots, a further new area of application was created, that of collaborative robots. Collaborative robots are employed at new forms of workplace in which constrained working spaces are shared by robots and human beings and in which guards cannot be used in order to rule out collision risks completely. Collision must be prevented as far as possible by safe control of the robot and by sensors for the detection of rele- vant movements by the robot and the human being at the workplace application. A small probability of collision nevertheless remains. The mechanical hazards presented by colliding robot parts (scale of damage) must therefore be reduced to such a level that affected persons are exposed only to an acceptable residual risk. Since the newly developed standards contain no satisfactory criteria or values for limiting the consequences of a collision should it occur, a research project was to be conducted by the institute in order to develop supplementary and detailed requirements for risk reduction. These requirements were to be made available in the form of BG/BGIA Recommendations for use in practice. The research project was launched by the expert committee responsible for machine construction, production systems and steel construction. Fitting of a dashboard; image: Daimler AG Activities Based upon existing data from the scientific literature and the OSH regulations in force in the area covered by the German accident insurance institutions (such as established limit values for automatic shutters, doors and gates), a pilot study was able to provide broad answers to the essential questions. Documented injuries/medical studies and the mechanical stresses causing them were analysed. The focus lay upon: permissible clamping and squeezing forces, impact forces, surface pressure, and data on the deformability of relevant body regions. The quality of the data surveyed was checked against preliminary measurements conducted for the purpose. Together with the BG expert committee responsible for machine construction, production systems and steel construction, the IFA laid down Occupational safety at workplaces involving collaborative robots 0293 Edition 1/2010 617.0-IFA:638.22 |
