4.2.5 Safety Mat Installation
The safety mat shall comply with EN 1760-1 (ISO 13856-1), and shall be able to detect operators over
35 kg.
Installing a safety mat is another type of protection system around the robot. Since safety mats rest on
the floor, the do not have height protection like railings. Calculate the size of the safety mats according
to the total moving range of the robot arm.
Do not place safety mats around the robot when it is in use, and cover the entire working area with the
safety mat.
DRV70L/90L Safety Mat Installation Area
Figure 4.8 shows the safety mat installation area for the DRV70L/90L. In addition to calculating the
maximum work area of the robot, add an average of 1 m for worker arm length to prevent the workers'
arms from hitting the robot. The actual installation takes into consideration the arm length of most workers
in that area. Table 3.3 lists the safety mat distances.
