Our systems are designed to fit seamlessly into your overall concept. Robots leave their safety enclosures and support their human colleagues in their direct working environment. All our robotic solutions have a unique non-contact safety technology and allow the highest level of collaboration. Our sensor skin forms a key technology for human-robot collaboration. Additionally the speed of the robot can automatically be adapted to the environment. Working like that humans and robots can form and unbeatable team within the connected factory.
Collaborative robots or cobots work hand in hand with their human colleagues. Safe identification and collision prevention come first in human-robot collaboration. Before a collision occurs, the APAS assistant stops. Unlike other robots on the market, our APAS assistant stops automatically and completely contactless. Once the employee has left the immediate vicinity, the robot independently resumes its work exactly where it stopped before. This is possible thanks to our unique capacitive sensor skin, which enables the robot to identify its human colleagues before they get too close. Equipped with more than 120 sensors, the skin enables the robot to stop automatically and without contact at a safe speed of 0.5 m/s or even more. Hence we enable the safe identification of humans by our solutions at performance level d (category 3, two-channel safety). All our systems are also certified by the German employers' liability insurance association for the direct and safe human-robot collaboration.
The automatic speed adjustment regulates the working speed of the robot and adapts it flexibly to the presence or absence of persons. As long as no employee is in the monitored distance range, the robot operates at almost maximum speed. Thanks to using industrial high performance robots with high reliability velocities of 6 m/s and more are possible. If the employee enters the near range of the robot, the APAS assistant automatically switches to a safe speed of e.g. 0.5 m/s or more, depending on your application.
