[Labor Safety Measures Case] Compliance with Labor Safety in Welding Operations Using Robots

A customized case where the robot stops when the chin strap of the supervisor's or worker's helmet comes undone.

We received a request from a transportation equipment manufacturer to create a system that meets the following two objectives for ensuring labor safety compliance in robot welding operations: (1) Establishing a mechanism to prevent unsafe actions (emergency stop) through a two-person operation involving a supervisor (outside the robot operating area) and an operator (inside the robot operating area). (2) Creating a system that prohibits the robot's teaching operation if the operator is not wearing a helmet correctly. 【Details】 - By connecting the signals from helmet-wearing sensors attached to the chin straps of the helmets worn by the supervisor and operator to the poka-yoke receiver TW-800R-EXS, we can achieve a system where "if the operator is not wearing the helmet correctly, the robot will automatically stop" and "if the supervisor determines it to be unsafe, they can remove the chin strap of the helmet to emergency stop the robot." - After the chin strap of the supervisor's and operator's helmets is removed, we will repeatedly customize the software of the helmet-wearing sensor ENS-HH01 and conduct practical verification to ensure the robot stops appropriately within the correct time frame. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*
