All automated machines, especially those with high-performance motion, create a potential hazard for the humans interacting with those machines. In the past, mitigating the risk was often left to the responsibility of the machine operators themselves. Since the same people were also responsible for productivity, they often bypassed safety measures to avoid downtime. Today, as companies assume great responsibility for employee safety and with the impetus of upcoming legislation, the demand for safer yet more productive machines is growing.
In this session you will learn:
- Why functional safety is an important consideration for both OEMs and end users.
- What a modern implementation of functional safety looks like
- How you can use Kollmorgen products to build a safe, productive machine.
