See full text

A safety method in a robot system including at least a robot (1), peripheral equipment (2-5) serviced by the robot, a robot control unit (6) which causes the robot to execute predetermined services for the peripheral equipment, and a teach control panel (9). A door (11) is provided at the entrance to a robot operating zone, and the door is provided with a safety switch (12) for terminating automatic operation of the robot when the robot is in an automatic operating state. When the safety switch is actuated by opening the door, robot motion in the automatic operating state is decelerated and stopped. During the time that the safety switch is in the actuated state, the robot is placed in a playback operation state to enable control that is performed through the teach control panel.
