Good afternoon all,
I have an application where a robot picks up a part off a transfer stand inside a robot cage and loads a milling machine. We are looking at cutting a hole in the robot fence and adding 6 fixtures inside the cage, very close to the opening for operators to load, and for the robot to pick up. The opening in the fence will have light curtains on either side, and will "pause / hold" the Fanuc R30iA-controlled robot. When the light curtain clears, I can resume the robot program after a 3-5 second delay automatically w/o having anyone press any reset button.
Would this be considered "safe" in the manufacturing / robotic world? Am I allowed to do this, or are there other safety precautions I need to consider?
Thanks!!!
