Description
The braking distance is the distance covered by
the robot/positioner after the stop function has
been triggered and before the robot comes to a
standstill.
The safety requirements of all relevant EC directives
have been met. All prescribed conformity
assessment procedures have been carried out.
The release device can be used to move the
positioner mechanically after an accident or malfunction.
The danger zone consists of the workspace and
the braking distances.
The KCP (KUKA Control Panel) teach pendant
has all the functions required for operating and
programming the industrial robot.
KUKA positioning system is a kinematic system
that is controlled by the robot controller as an
external axis. The shorter term “positioner” is
used in the documentation.
The robot arm and the associated electrical
installations
The RDC (Resolver Digital Converter) constitutes
the connection between the motors of the
robot/positioner and the robot controller. The signals
are converted in the RDC (A/D conversion).
Robot system, consisting of robot, positioner,
robot controller, KUKA System Software, connecting
cables and KCP.
The safety zone is situated outside the danger
zone.
A customer-specific fixture adapted to the relevant
application is mounted on the positioner.
If the positioner is connected to the robot controller,
its axes are configured as external axes of
the robot.
