1.2.4.1 Safety fence dimensions
General
Install a safety cell around the manipulator to ensure safe manipulator installation
and operation.
Dimensioning
Dimension the fence or enclosure to enable it to withstand the force created if the
load being handled by the manipulator is dropped or released at maximum speed.
Determine the maximum speed from the maximum velocities of the manipulator
axes and from the position at which the manipulator is working in the work cell
(see the section Robot motion in the Product specification).
Also consider the maximum possible impact caused by a breaking or malfunctioning
rotating tool or other device fitted to the manipulator.
