How it works
The standard defines safety requirements and protective measures the robot manufacturer must meet (e.g. safe-stop functions, speed/force limits, monitoring). Conformity with ISO 10218-1 supports meeting legal requirements (e.g. the EU Machinery Regulation) and underpins the safety assessment of industrial robots.
Problem solved
Industrial robots are becoming increasingly collaborative, programmable and networked; older editions of safety standards did not fully cover these new scenarios and risks.
