  • Patent number: 10500729
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an industrial robot system comprising a platform (1) positioned in a robot cell, an industrial robot (2) positioned on the platform and including an articulated robot arm (6), a sensor system comprising 5 two sensors (4, 5), wherein each of the sensors is configured to detect motions within an angle of at least 90o in a horizontal plane, two arms (10, 12) attached to the platform (1) and arranged to move the sensors (4, 5) in relation to the platform independent of the articulated robot arm between an extended position located a distance of a least 0.5 m from the platform and a 10 retracted position. The sensors are arranged to detect motions of an object within a safety zone and the robot system is configured to adjust the speed of the robot if a moving object is detected in the safety zone.

  • Publication number: 20170320212
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an industrial robot system comprising a platform adapted to be positioned on a floor in a robot cell, an industrial robot positioned on the platform and including an articulated robot arm, a sensor system comprising two sensors, wherein each of the sensors is configured to detect motions within an angle of at least 90° in a horizontal plane, two arms attached to the platform and arranged to move the sensors in relation to the platform independent of the articulated robot arm between an extended position located a distance of a least 0.5 m from the platform and a retracted position. The sensors are arranged to detect motions of an object within at least one safety zone defined in relation to the sensors when the sensors are located in the extended position, and the robot system comprises a safety control unit configured to adjust the speed of the robot if a moving object is detected in the at least one safety zone.
