The invention relates t a safety device (5) and a safety method for a production station (2) for vehicle body parts (4), and for a conveying means (18) moving into and out of the production station (2) for transporting the workpieces into and out of the production station (2). The production station (2) and the conveying means (18) each have their own controller (13, 21) and their own security circuit (22, 23), wherein the security device (5) connects the security circuits (22, 23) of the production station (2) and of the conveying means (18) located in the production station (2). The security device (5) influences and thereby changes a protection region (29) of a protection device (27) of an intrinsically secure conveying means (18) when moving in and out and within the production station (2).
A safety device (5) for a production station (2) for workpieces (4), in particular vehicle body parts, and for a conveying means (18) which can be moved into and out of the production station (2) and is intended to transport the workpieces (4) into and out of the production station (2), wherein the production station (2) and the conveying means (18) each have their own controller (13, 21) and their own safety circuit (22, 23), characterized in that the safety device (5) connects the safety circuits (22, 23) of the production station (2) and of the conveying means (18) situated in the production station (2).
A method for protecting a production station (2) for workpieces (4), in particular vehicle body parts, and a conveying means (18) which moves into and out of the production station (2) and transports workpieces (4) into and out of the production station (2), wherein the production station (2) and the conveying means (18) each have their own controller (13, 21) and their own safety circuit (22, 23), characterized in that the safety circuits (22, 23) of the production station (2) and of the conveying means (18) situated in the production station (2) are connected.
