Projecting safety-related monitoring for a multi-axis kinematic system with multiple movable segments

A setting-up component for projecting safety-related monitoring for a multi-axis kinematic system, the setting-up component comprising:

• operator-control input configured for assigning a plurality of respective segment kinematic zones to one or more segments of the multi-axis kinematic system, wherein the respective segment kinematic zones are formed by segment bounding volumes in based on the respective segments and for providing respective movements of the respective segments in a Cartesian space;
• a processor configured for ascertaining for each segment spatial elements to be passed through as a result of the respective movements provided and for determining for each segment, respective overall bounding volumes as respective segment working zones based on the ascertained spatial elements to be passed through;
• and
• an output configured for providing the respective segment working zones for the projecting of a safety function of the safety-related monitoring.
