1. Customer Background
The customer is a professional robot system integration company based in Shanghai, China. It focuses on industrial robot system integration and provides turnkey automated production solutions for automotive parts, machinery manufacturing and other mainstream industrial fields. With rich experience in robot programming, workstation debugging and automated production line construction, the company has strict and standardized requirements for on-site safety protection, mechanical isolation and international safety compliance.
In order to build standardized and safe robot workstation cells for automated production projects, the company needed a set of high-standard safety robot fence systems that meet international industrial safety specifications and can realize linkage safety protection.
2. Project Requirements
For the safety construction of industrial robot workstations, the customer put forward high-level safety and functional requirements, fully referring to international robot safety standards:
- Realize closed safety isolation of robot working area to prevent personnel from entering the robotic moving range by mistake.
- Equip safety access doors with interlock devices to realize automatic robot shutdown when the door is opened.
- Comply with ISO 10218 industrial robot safety requirements and meet CE certification standards.
- The fence height shall be no less than 2.0m to effectively prevent climbing and crossing.
- Reserve convenient access space for daily equipment maintenance, debugging and technical inspection.
3. BDINDUSTRIAL Custom Robot Safety Fence Solution
According to the customer’s high-standard safety specifications and workstation layout demands, the technical team of BDINDUSTRIAL customized a complete set of high-security robot safety fence solutions. The overall structure is firm, safety-interlocked, and fully compliant with international industrial safety standards. The detailed configuration parameters are as follows:
Configuration Item | Specification Parameters | Product & Safety Advantages |
|---|---|---|
Overall Height | 2.2m | Higher than the standard safety height, completely preventing personnel from climbing over and ensuring full closed protection |
Wire Diameter | 5.0mm | Thickened high-strength steel wire, strong impact resistance, able to resist accidental collision of robot arms and workpieces |
Mesh Size | 50×100mm | Standard safety mesh to prevent body parts from stretching into the dangerous area, with transparent vision for real-time equipment monitoring |
Column Specification | 80×80mm Square Tube | Thickened square pipe column, stable overall structure, anti-vibration and firm installation |
Safety Door Specification | Single Door, 1.2m Width | Wide-body safety door, convenient for equipment maintenance, tool handling and personnel debugging |
Safety Lock Type | Safety Door Lock + Electromagnetic Interlock | Linked with robot control system, realizing automatic equipment shutdown when the door is opened |
Surface Treatment | Hot-dip Galvanized + Electrostatic Powder Coating (Warning Yellow) | Industrial warning yellow highlights dangerous areas; double anti-corrosion process ensures long-term service life in automated workshops |
4. Installation & Operational Effect
Before Installation
The robot workstation was open without closed safety isolation. Personnel debugging and equipment operation overlapped, bringing major mechanical injury risks. The site failed to meet international robot safety standards and could not pass formal safety acceptance.
After Installation
BDINDUSTRIAL robot safety fences have been successfully applied to 8 sets of robot workstations. Independent closed safety protection areas are formed around each robotic unit. The safety door interlock system runs stably and realizes an intelligent linkage mechanism: once the door is opened, the robot equipment stops running immediately, completely eliminating safety hazards during manual entry and debugging.
The whole solution fully complies with ISO 10218 industrial robot safety specifications and CE safety certification requirements, helping the customer successfully pass the factory safety acceptance at one time. The standardized warning yellow fence also realizes visual safety management for the automated workshop.
5. Customer Evaluation
“BDINDUSTRIAL’s robot safety fence fully meets our design and safety standards. The safety door interlock device is perfectly connected with the robot control system, and the overall installation and commissioning process is smooth. The product is well-crafted and the team provides professional technical support. We will continue to cooperate on subsequent automation projects.”
—— Project Manager of Shanghai Robot System Integration Company
6. Case Summary
This robot workstation safety isolation project fully reflects the professional strength of BDINDUSTRIAL robot safety fence in automated manufacturing safety protection scenarios. The 2.2m high anti-climbing structure, thickened full-welded mesh and electromagnetic interlock safety system form a complete intelligent safety protection system.
Different from ordinary workshop isolation fences, BDINDUSTRIAL robot safety fences are strictly designed in accordance with ISO 10218 and CE safety standards, supporting automatic linkage shutdown of equipment, which effectively protects personnel safety during equipment debugging and maintenance. It is a high-standard safety isolation solution specially suitable for industrial robot workstations, automated production lines and intelligent manufacturing workshops.
