Testing the cobot safety

Since an MRI system is not usually separated from humans by a fence or Plexiglas, safety must be ensured in accordance with the ISO/TS 15066 specification. In concrete terms, this is primarily a matter of observing the relevant force and pressure limit values, which are set very low, which is certainly worthy of criticism(link). The relevant values depend on the body parts that could be touched/injured. A thigh is naturally more robust than the face.
Special hardware is available to measure the force actually exerted in a work process. This can be used to check whether the specifications are being met. If necessary, modifications must be made, e.g., slower clocking or design changes. (Cobot use begins in the design, which should avoid sharp edges, etc.)
One possibility for measuring is the "CoboSafe" series of devices (German distributor GTE Industrieelektronik). In this case, a special pressure measuring foil is in the device, which in turn displays and logs the measurement results for the risk analysis by means of the software.


Curiously, occupational safety does not seem to apply to circus performances, as this video from Munich (2018) suggests:

The author of this blog is available for market research or even a walk through your production/manufacturing at a fixed price(detail), and then make specific proposals for the use of cobots and other robots incl. funding opportunities. Both SMEs and large companies are visited. Among other things in Bavaria a 50% investment promotion is conceivable. The standard book on cobots also comes from him.
