Rigorous Standards Help Matrix Deliver Safer Robotic Systems
发布08/29/2017
Let’s get one thing straight. Robots are not running wild in the workplace. In reality, robot incidents are rare. According to OSHA, there were 37 robot-related accidents between 1984 and 2013. There were 4,585 workplace fatalities from other causes in 2013 alone. However, robots do demand respect. That’s why Matrix goes to extraordinary lengths to deliver safer robotic devices.
定义了非凡的长度
您是否知道美国法律不需要机器人的安全认证？某些集成商甚至可能无法及时了解当前标准。我们相信我们的客户应该得到比这更好。这就是为什么矩阵由机器人行业协会（RIA）认证。我们不是在谈论墙上的证书。认证涉及一个苛刻的过程，包括现场审计，对关键人员的评估，专业安全培训课程和严格考试的数小时。
Sounds very impressive – but how exactly does all this carry over to the shop floor? The answer is found in our矩阵5点安全核对表我们基于此开发RIA guidelines并且我们在每一个安装上使用。
- Documentation of Risks
清单的核心是基于任务的风险评估过程。考虑到每个细胞，考虑到在其附近或附近的每个人来确定整个完整生命周期的每个人的风险敞口，从设计到它的退役。RIA还建议最终用户执行自己的风险评估，因为他们拥有自己的设施工作环境的首先了解。Matrix项目经理与客户合作，以确保已确定所有风险。我们还聘请了一个风险评估系统，即根据严重程度，曝光程度，避免为每个危害而避免数据的风险评估系统。一旦确定了风险，必须采取步骤来减轻它们。
- Making It Safer
风险降低措施有各种形式。降低风险的更常见方式之一是应用诸如铁丝网围栏，金属板防护或罩等硬防护。这些完全焊接的钢制外壳通过在操作员和机器人之间产生物理屏障来提供最大的安全性。
减少风险的另一种形式是瓜尔豆传感器类型ding, such as safety scanners, safety light curtains and safety mats. Unlike hard or fixed guarding, sensor type guarding relies on safety sensors that detect someone’s presence, similar to a garage door sensor, automatically slowing or shutting down the robot.
- Dual Check Safety
If you can’t keep the human from the robot, keeps the robot from the human. The most advanced safety technology that we employ is the Dual Check Safety (DCS) introduced by FANUC in 2014. Instead of hard guards or sensors, DCS uses internal software that limits the robot’s movement to predetermined boundaries within the work envelope, keeping operators, robots and tooling completely safe. The most significant benefit of DCS is in applications where the robot’s travel needs to be restricted due to floor space or in processes that limit the full reach of the robot. Reduction in floor space can be reduced by as much as 50% by simply setting up these safety zones that restrict the path of the robot.
- 人体元素
客户培训是我们的安全计划中的一个基本要素。确保客户拥有所有文档并理解每个系统允许他们培训他们自己的员工在单元格内机器人的正确操作。此外，适当的锁定程序突出显示在每个单元格外，并作为我们提供每位客户的标准培训的一部分。
- Final Check
After all mitigation is in place, our application engineers re-assess the risk level at our location once the safety features are employed, and one final time at the customer’s location, ensuring all safety features are working properly on site.
Proactive for Safety
并非所有集成商都遵循RIA安全措施，而是作为RIA认证的集成商，我们走到以上。我们的奖励是了解我们的客户可以信任，我们尽一切努力确保其设备和员工的安全。这是我们做生意的方式，我们不想以任何其他方式做到这一点。
