4 Tips for Safe Autonomous Mobile Robot Installation Know the requirements and relevant safety standards From Machine Design, Ed Mullen, Jan 30, 2020 The use of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) to transport materials through industrial buildings is booming. AMRs improve the efficiency of logistics while freeing employees from heavy, monotonous and low-value material-moving tasks. While these robots are designed to navigate safely around people, ongoing changes in the market can leave new users questioning how to ensure a safe installation. And the market’s fast growth has made it difficult for standards organizations to keep up and provide guidance.  If your company is looking into purchasing an AMR or fleet of AMRs, consider these safety tips. Read the Machine Design Article Carbon Vacuum Grippers  Lighter and stronger With their innovative design, Coval’s CVGC carbon vacuum grippers correspond perfectly to the weight constraints, flexibility and safety of collaborative robot applications for handling of cardboard boxes, plastic or metal parts. The CVGC series is composed of a carbon structure, 2.5 times lighter than aluminum and offering mechanical strength 6 times greater. flexible material on the gripper edges, to protect both gripper and operator. foam gripping interface, for versatile product handling a plastic “function” block, including vacuum generator, pilot control cartridge, silencer and vacuum switch. an URCap plugin allowing simplified integration and programming.
