Safemove - ABB FlexMT Product Manual

3.7 SafeMove

The FlexMT comes with a standardized setup for the SafeMove system. The delivery
setup is as follows:
Schematic positions of SafeMove zones within the FlexMT. The marked areas are
forbidden zones.
When delivered, all SafeToolZones are activated. If the opening towards the
machine tool is enlarged by removing one of the flexible panels, the corresponding
SafeToolZone should be deactivated. Standard opening (850mm): STZ6 and STZ7
must be activated. Medium opening (1300mm): STZ7 can be deactivated. Wide
opening (1500mm): STZ6 and STZ7 can be deactivated.
The areas close to the machine tool (A, B, C) must in same cases be adopted to
the actual machine tool layout.
3HAC051768-001 Revision: -
• STZ4, ST5, ST6, and ST7 define forbidden areas based on the contours of
the FlexMT shell. At the same time, they limit the maximum robot speed to
1200 mm/s (-> use max v1000 in robot).
• SST1 ensures that the robot is kept at standstill when the statistical outlet is
opened. Opening the statistical outlet while the robot is moving leads to an
immediate SaveMove safety violation. SST1 is activated by an external sensor
supervising the statistical outlet.
• SafeMove manual override is placed out of reach for the operator (i.e. inside
the control cabinet), i order to minimize abuse and to protect the equipment.
