Human-robot collaboration

The closer human and machine work together, the more efficient work practices become. However, safe interaction between human and robot increasingly demands new technologies and solutions. Also, the demands on safety increase, the closer human and machine get to each other.

To verify the required safety level, the entire safety function must be considered – from the sensor to the logic and beyond to the actuator. Safe human-robot collaboration (HRC) can only be guaranteed when all these factors interact in a coordinated manner.

Each robot application must be considered individually in terms of safety. Pilz provides support with a range of services tailored to the individual life phases of a robot system: From application analysis to risk assessment in accordance with EN ISO 12100, through to CE marking.

Our safety solutions meet the specifications of DIN EN ISO 10218-2 and ISO/TS 15066. And to complete the range of services, we have a range of training courses on robot safety.

Modular safety gate system

Obtain information at the virtual exhibition: Safely monitoring safety gates

With our modular safety system, you can protect your employees from hazardous machine movements thanks to individual safety gate solutions. In addition to the protection of your employees from the machine, the machine should be protected from unauthorised access. You want to know how this works? This is simple: Use the modular safety system with the access permission system PITreader. This way you regulate the safe access and also the access permission of your machine, and you protect it from unauthorised access. Together with the configurable safe small controller PNOZmulti 2 you obtain a safe and economical complete solution.

The pushbutton unit PITgatebox is ideal for combining with the two safety gate sensors PSENslock and PSENmlock . As a result you have additional control and pushbutton elements: from E-STOP pushbuttons and illuminated pushbuttons through to key switches and key-operated pushbuttons. The PITgatebox is available in a number of different versions and, with its robust, die cast zinc housing, is particularly resistant to shock, vibration and collision. Its slimline housing enables a space-saving installation on standard aluminium profile systems.

Automation system for Industry 4.0

The controllers from the automation system PSS 4000 can be used in accordance with the multi-master principle. You can link several controllers with equal authorisation simply via the real-time Ethernet SafetyNet p. SafetyNET p exchanges data and states between the controllers and synchronises them. So every controller knows what the other is doing.

You can program and configure all network subscribers centrally via the software platform PAS4000. The PASvisu visualisation software enables you to always keep an eye on the project. That makes handling your project really simple, however large it is! Now you can always respond swiftly and flexibly to individual customer requirements!
