In order to improve the monitoring of a machine with movable parts, such as in particular an industrial robot, and for increasing safety, the invention provides a method for monitoring movable parts of a machine, such as an industrial robot, in which at least two different measured quantities are detected and at least one of these measured quantities is processed to a first measure result in such a way that it is comparable with another measured quantity or a second measure result obtained on the basis thereof, that the first measure result is compared with another measured quantity or a measure result obtained on the basis thereof and that a signal characterizing the comparison result is provided. The invention also provides a machine with movable parts, such as in particular an industrial robot, which is characterized by at least two measuring devices for detecting different measured quantities on movable parts of the machine, a processing unit for at least one measured quantity for the processing thereof into a first measure result comparable with another measured quantity or a second measure result obtained therefrom and a comparison unit for comparing the first measure result with at least one other measured quantity or a second measure result obtained on the basis thereof.
Method for monitoring movable parts of a machine, such as an industrial robot wherein measured values of at least two different measured quantities are detected and at least one of these measured values is processed to a first measure result in such a way that it is comparable with the measured value of another measured quantity or a second measure result obtained as a result thereof, that the first measure result is compared with the measured value of another measured quantity or a measure result obtained as a result thereof and that a signal characterizing the comparison result is provided.
Machine with movable parts, such as in particular an industrial robot, characterized by at least two measuring devices for detecting different measured quantities as measured values on movable parts of the machine, at least one processing unit (12, 13, 14) for at least one measured value of a measured quantity for processing the same into a first measure result comparable with another measured value of another measured quantity or a second measure result obtained therefrom and by a comparison unit (15) for comparing the first measure result with at least the measured value of another measured quantity or a second measure result obtained as a result thereof.
