SAFETY MONITORING DEVICE FOR ROBOT

摘要

A safety monitoring device for a robot includes a position detecting unit for detecting the position of a robot, a force detecting unit for detecting an external force applied to the position detecting unit, an external force determination condition setting unit, which sets, as an external force determination condition, an intra-region external force determination condition when the present position of the robot detected by the position detecting unit remains within a predetermined region and which sets, as an external force determination condition, an out-of-region external force determination condition when the present position of the robot is outside of the predetermined region, and a robot stopping unit for stopping the robot when the external force detected by the force detecting unit satisfies the external force determination condition.
