Training Objective
The aim of this training is to familiarize participants with the safety requirements imposed on machines based on collaborative robots – Cobots. The training presents the process of conformity assessment for a robotic workstation, risk assessment of hazards caused by cobots and methods for mitigating (reducing) risks. The foundation for proper safety design of robotic workstations are technical standards which set out detailed safety requirements.
Target Group
This training is dedicated to individuals who, in their professional work, are directly involved with industrial cobots, both during the design of workstations and during use of machines equipped with cobots; design engineers for robotic stations, maintenance engineers, and health and safety professionals.
