I am currently working with a fanuc robot that doesn't yet have a cell wall around it but when the cell is built around the robot would I have to teach a working area for the robot within the cell so that the robot can never reach far enough to do damage to the cell walls. If this is the case I thought this could be done through world zones. In the attached image the red line indicates where the robots work area would be set to so that the robot should stop before a collision with a wall can occur.

Hi
and the question is ?
I'm guessing it is Are the worker around the cell safe ?First of all we need to know, the cell wall and the wall , what are they build of ? Plexiglass, brick, steel frame, etc, etc
I read your post again, where it says "the robot can never reach far enough to do damage to the cell walls " Are you concern about breaking the robot or the safety of the people. Your motions, the path that you are going to teach will dictate if the robot is going to crash or not
-
I was just wondering does a zone need to be set up to stop the robot being able to crash into a cell wall and if so is this done through set a world zone.

Hi
Are you talking about DCS ? Do you have DCS installed ?
Then the answer is YES, you setup the DCS zones first

I'm not sure if it is installed but I'll look into it. But it sounds like that's the solution. Thanks.
