1.2.3.1. 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.
