The robot uses a sophisticated force/torque sensor in each axis to help avoid dangerous collisions with operators. It does not need any other protective measures – such as casings – thus saving space and costs. If the robot touches someone and stops, it can be reactivated directly on the arm.
The robot has been certified to ISO/TS 15066:2016, which specifies safety requirements for collaborative industrial robot systems and the work environment.
