Safety for a motion system that is like 30ft+ in the air and not normally accessible?
We are looking at designing a sprayer that moves back and forth on a rail, and is driven by a motor or servo. These things will be way up in the air and unless you get on a man lift there is no way you could get hit by it.
I've done some motion before but that was table top stuff that was easily acceptable so everything was guarded.
Anyone have any experience with something like this?
I am wondering if I can forgo physical guarding and light curtains etc. and just have an E-Stop.
