ROBOTICS
Industrial robots are programmable mechanical machines that move parts, components, materials and tools. Modern industrial robots range from lightweight benchtop units to large machines that can manipulate objects weighing up to 1,000 kilograms. Safety is crucial in the robotics industry.
“Packaging machines are increasingly incorporating safety sensors and guarding to prevent accidents.”
ASSEMBLY
A manufacturing assembly line consists of workstations geographically dispersed within the plant. These workstations are connected by a mechanised work transport system that transports parts from one workstation to
another. Machinery parts are sequentially product is manufactured. Assembling is a continuous, fast and precise process that must be error-free. Ensuring machine safety in assembly lines is crucial because of the involvement of intricate and high-speed machinery. If not maintained and operated property, it may lead to severe injuries or fatalities. Additionally, the machinery used in assembly lines can cause harm to products being assembled, leading to defects, further emphasising the importance of machine safety solutions. Moving parts of machinery and other potential hazards can also cause harm to workers. Therefore, it is necessary to adopt machine safety measures in assembly lines, which involves the use of a shield or device covering hazardous areas of a machine to prevent contact with the human body. Machine safety systems ensure an injury and hazard free working environments in assembly applications.
the deployment of a collaborative model that comprises safety-monitored stops, hand- guiding speed and separation monitoring and power and force-limiting robotic products. Machine safety functions such as controlling, limiting and positioning are critical for industrial automation. Machine safety products sense emergencies and stop robots from damaging effects or harming operators. According to the latest World Robotics report the International Federation of Robotics published in September 2023, the number of new industrial robots installed in factories worldwide reached 553,000 in 2022.
PACKAGING
Packaging is a critical process in the chemical, food & beverage, pharmaceutical and semiconductor industries. Packaging machines must be accessed for cleaning purposes at regular Intervals. Since these machines run at high speeds, they may cause Injuries to workers. Packaging machines are Increasingly incorporating safety sensors and guarding to prevent accidents. These technologies can identify potential hazards, promptly halting the machine.
Among the widely used guarding systems during packaging are safety light curtains and interlocks, which create physical barriers to shield machines from dangerous environmental materials. Recently, there machine safety practices in the packaging automated packaging machines has created a need for enhanced safety measures. As a
