sBot Speed PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION sBot Speed – WITH SPEED REDUCTION FOR LESS ­ OWNTIME D The sBot Speed safety system ensures safety and flexibility because it intelligently combines the ­ unctions f of a safety laser scanner with those of the Flexi Soft safety controller. The non-safe automation ­ unctions f and the safe functions have been ready-made and tested, meaning that the sBot Speed is easy to integrate into the most common robot controls. The safety system adapts the robot operating ­ onditions c to the respective position of the worker. After the worker has left the hazardous area...
