Safety technology is a crucial safeguard in the application of industrial robots. Due to their high speed and heavy load capacity, industrial robots pose potential risks to personnel and equipment during operation. Therefore, safety protection, control logic, and management measures are necessary to reduce the probability of accidents during design and application. Common safety technologies include emergency stop, area protection, and speed and force limiting to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment.
In recent years, with the increasing demand for human-robot collaboration, industrial robots have continuously developed in terms of safety control and collaborative technologies. By introducing force control, collision detection, and safety monitoring mechanisms, industrial robots can work collaboratively with humans under limited conditions, expanding their application scope in assembly, inspection, and other scenarios. Advances in safety and collaborative technologies enable industrial robots to better meet the dual requirements of flexibility and safety in modern manufacturing while maintaining production efficiency.
