The Safe Robotics Area Protection (SRAP) safety system from SICK provides process-based protection for collaborative robot applications. SRAP provides machine operators with unrestricted yet safe access to a robot’s working area at any time by adapting the operating conditions to the position of the person. The SRAP system consists of a Flexi Soft safety controller and a safety laser scanner, and satisfies the criteria of Performance Level PL d in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1. This future-proof safety system enables flexible, autonomous machines and robots to adapt quickly to new production conditions, safety requirements and protective field conditions.
