Which safety standards are typically followed for FANUC robots?

The standards typically followed for FANUC robots include ISO 10218 and ANSI/RIA R15.06. These specific standards focus on the safety of industrial robots and the robotics systems they are part of.

ISO 10218 provides guidelines for the design, integration, and safety of industrial robots, ensuring that robotics solutions are implemented with a strong emphasis on safety in the workplace. This standard defines the responsibilities of manufacturers and users and specifies requirements for risk assessment, safeguarding, and safety-related controls.

ANSI/RIA R15.06 is the American National Standard that complements ISO 10218, providing safety requirements for robot systems in the United States. It addresses safety requirements for robots in operation and outlines safety considerations during installation, use, maintenance, and decommissioning of robotic systems.

Together, these standards promote a safe working environment when employing robotic technology, helping to mitigate risks associated with their operation. This highlights the significance of compliance with such standards in ensuring not just the functionality of the robots, but also the safety of the personnel working alongside them.
