KUKA Safety Services

Production facilities must be reliable, efficient and, above all, safe. System planners and operators must fulfill legal requirements and document their measures. KUKA Safety Services support you in ensuring the safety of people and machines in your production system.

Safety standards at the highest level

When planning or upgrading production systems, a comprehensive safety concept must be developed that protects your employees and enables efficient, profitable operation of your system.

KUKA Safety Services offers you scaled service offerings for every project phase of your system.

Our experts work closely with you during the planning, installation, inspection or modification of the safety systems in your production plant. Continuous exchange and on-site presence enable a smooth, successful project process.

Safety in the production process: from planning to ongoing operation

Planning

Support before and during planning

To make optimum use of KUKA Safety Services, you should involve us right from the start of your planning. If the requirements analysis and design of the cell areas, workspaces and protected areas are already carried out in the planning phase, an optimum result can be achieved for compliance with overtravel distances, positions and the desired cycle times.

We can also sensitize your employees with the help of workshops on the safety of robot cells. This avoids costly rework during subsequent commissioning.

Verification before commissioning

Based on your planned values for the cell area and for the work and protection areas, we create a simulation to visualize the accessibility and protection areas at an early stage.

At this stage, planning errors can still be corrected cost-effectively. Additional costs due to necessary reworking or even conversions on site can thus be avoided.

Implementation

Commissioning and configuration of KUKA.SafeOperation technologies

Together with our experienced application specialists, we enter your planning data into the robot system on site and check these values, also taking overtravel distances into account.

Finally, we work with you to draw up a protocol as proof for your documents that your planning data has been implemented and tested in the robot

Optimization

Subsequent implementation of security concepts

Of course, we also support you in checking and expanding the safety configurations of existing systems and applications.

We work with you to develop a safety concept that takes into account the individual factors of your production plant.

With the help of our simulation and offline programming services, the changeover can be optimally prepared so that nothing stands in the way of the smooth implementation of your new security system.

Measurement and testing of human-robot collaborative (HRC) applications

In HRC applications, employees and robots work together hand in hand; without separation or the need for a safety fence. To ensure the safety of the close collaboration between robot and employee, it is essential to identify, evaluate, and address potential risks in advance.

KUKA experts help develop and implement your HRC safety concept. Engaging your employees, we identify potential contact events in the human-robot collaborative application, evaluate risk potential, and implement risk-reducing measures to ensure compliance with defined limit values.
