WORKING DEVICE AND WORKING METHOD

摘要

The invention relates to a working device (1) and a working method comprising an industrial robot (2) equipped for human-robot co-operation or collaboration (HRC), said robot having a processing tool (3). The industrial robot has a number of rotatably interconnected members (7,8,9,10) and one or more open- or closed-loop force-controlled robot axes (I-VII) comprising an integrated sensor system which detects the external stress acting on each robot axis (I-VII). As a supplementary HRC protective measure, a personnel protection device (4) is located in the vicinity of the processing tool (3).
