Abstract
A process for protecting at least two robots is provided, especially multiaxial industrial robots, from collisions, in which movements of a robot are automatically checked for possible collisions. Interlocks are automatically inserted in the movement process.
Claims20
A process for protecting at least one robot, from collision, the process comprising the steps:
- checking the movements of the at least one robot automatically checked for possible collisions;
- and
- determining if interlocks are necessary and if so automatically inserting interlocks in the movement process.
A process for protecting a multiaxial industrial robots from collision, the process comprising the steps:
- automatically checking the programed movement process of a first industrial robot and the programed movement process of a second industrial robot for possible collisions;
- and
- determining if interlocks are necessary and if so automatically inserting interlocks in each movement process.
