Pilz Australia has introduced a new robotic safety training course that
aims to provide robotic systems integrators with a comprehensive understanding
of the essential requirements of robot safety.
Pilz has observed a significant growth in the use of robots in
Australia, as the relative cost of robots decrease and companies search for
improvements in operational costs and efficiencies, leading to a rising demand
for robotic safety systems.
Designed for technical personnel responsible for ensuring robotic system
compliance, Pilz’s one-day course will familiarise participants with the risks
associated with the use of robotic systems, and how to achieve safety while
maintaining productivity.
Highlights of the course include understanding best practice standards such
as ISO 10218 and AS 4024.3301 – Robots for Industrial Environments – Safety
Requirements; risk assessment in robotic cells, common hazards and controls and
robotic safeguarding techniques; and applying the correct strategy to ensure
right first time engineering.
Pilz Managing Director Scott Moffat explains that the course seeks to
address safety issues associated with robotic systems, given their increasing
use in manufacturing. Pilz’s new Robot Safety course will enable participants to
create safer robotic systems and reduce accidents.
Pilz has also upgraded their safe 3D camera system, SafetyEYE that allows
users to program various levels of danger zones, letting the worker interact
more closely with the robot without compromising safety. The new version of
SafetyEYE has an improved application range and higher resolution making it
suitable for a wider range of installations.
The course is recommended for organisations installing robots for the
first time or looking to strengthen safety systems associated with robots.
