Cobots – Safe collaborative robots
TÜV AUSTRIA supports the planning and realization of the application for safe collaboration between humans and robots, cost-intensive safety precautions (e.g. safety fences, additional required workspace) are no longer required.
Our solutions for robotics manufacturers
- Determination of failure probabilities & verification of SIL and PL
- Determination of safety-relevant functional safety parameters (B10, MTTF, etc.)
- Determination of technical performance parameters (speeds, stopping distances, waste heat, power, etc.)
- Testing hardware and software, e.g. in accordance with ISO 13849
- Testing of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
As an accredited and notified testing laboratory (0408), we are also available for the following:
- CE conformity tests
- EC type examinations (Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC)
- as well as for the verification of national and international standards
Our solutions for robotics integrators
- Moderation of risk analyses taking into account cyber security threats and support in deriving appropriate measures
- Project coaching in relation to the conformity of the entire application
- Layout planning, taking into account the relevant normative requirements
- Path optimization to minimize potential hazards
- Ergonomic workplace design, and much more.
- Planning and development of a collaborative application in line with EN ISO 10218-2 edition 2021/22
- Consideration of the requirements for the three-dimensional workspace
- Simulation evaluations of the planned work actions
- Determination of possible contact and danger points
- Measurement of the biomechanical limit values in accordance with ISO TS 15066
- Documentation of the concept in accordance with the requirements of EN ISO 10218-2 edition 2021/22
Our solutions for robotics operators
- Consulting and concept discussion: Identification of the requirements and framework conditions to be met when purchasing a collaborative work system
