Abstract: A mobile machine includes: a travelable base; a movable machine part arranged at the travelable base and having a hazardous section; and a securing apparatus having one or more sensors and arranged at the movable machine part. A method for the safe operation of a mobile machine includes that the mobile machine is selectively operated in a work mode, in which the movable machine part performs working movements while the travelable base is stationary, or in a travel mode in which the travelable base performs travel movements while the movable machine part assumes a defined travel position. The securing apparatus monitors a respective protective volume that corresponds to a defined environment of the hazardous section in the work mode and corresponds to a defined environment of the travelable base in the travel mode. In the event of an object engaging into the respective protective volume, a safety-related reaction is triggered.

Abstract: For the control of a robot operated as part of a human-robot collaboration, a preplanned movement sequence is provided that comprises a defined movement path along which the robot is to move in order to perform a specific task, and a defined speed development according to which each point of the movement path is associated with a speed at which the robot is to move at the respective point.

Abstract: A system having a sensor system comprising distance sensors for monitoring a hazardous zone at a movable machine part having at least one protected zone, wherein a tool is arranged at the movable machine part, wherein the distance sensors are arranged at a holder at the movable machine part, wherein a plurality of distance sensors are arranged, with the detection beams of the distance sensors forming a protected field shell, wherein the holder has the distance sensors, with the holder having a disk-shaped housing, with the disk-shaped housing having round surfaces and not having any corners at the outer surfaces, with the system comprising a fastening system, the fastening system comprises one of a first fastening adapter and a second fastening adapter at which the holder is respectively arranged for fastening the holder to the movable machine part.

Abstract: An optoelectronic sensor (10) is provided for detecting transparent objects (30) in a monitored zone (22) that has a light transmitter (12) for transmitting a light signal (14), a light receiver (26) for generating a received signal from the received light signal, an evaluation unit (28) that is configured to evaluate the received signal and to generate an object determination signal that indicates whether a transparent object (30) has been detected in the monitored zone (22), and an output (32) for outputting the object determination signal. The evaluation unit (28) is further configured to recognize with respect to the received signal and to a piece of reference information whether a detected transparent object (30) has an additional feature (34) and to output a corresponding piece of additional feature information.
