Hi All,
KRC4 KSS 8.6.5
I have an application where I am looking to restrict the robots movement inside a guarded space due to the fact that the robots reach is possible to extend past the guarding even though of course the path of the robot does not exit this guarded area it is still none the less possible if someone was to re teach a position or move the robot outside this area.
I need a wide range of movement on all axis of the robot so implementing hard stops is not an option, what I would look to do is implement a cartesian space the same as is possible in safeoperation or DCS in Fanuc.
Safeoperation has quite a few extras that I don't need and the reference switch is something that is a bit of an inconvenience for this even though I completely understand the reasoning behind it.
I have three questions as of now:
- Why does Fanuc DCS configured monitoring spaces not require a reference switch?
- Could standard workspaces be used to undergo the same safety rated function with some code in the backend?
- If not is there a kuka option that I may have missed to have monitored safety spaces without the need for the reference switch?
Thank you in advance
