In the "Galvanotechnik" issue 11/2023, we reported on potential hazards to employees in connection with collaborative robots, known as cobots for short, in the editorial section on environmental protection and occupational safety. The German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV) has now published an information leaflet on this topic.
It is a practical guide to the requirements for collaborative robots with regard to standards, regulations and ordinances.
Among other things, the publication provides tips on planning systems with the power and force limitation function. Interested parties can find the publication on the DGUV website under the following link:
The download is free of charge.
