Bearbeitungszentrum mit einer Werkstücktransporteinrichtung und einem Werkstückbereitstellungsplatz mit opto-elektronischer Schutzeinrichtung

摘要

The center (1) has a sensor device (7) provided as laser scanner in or at an optoelectronic protection device (5) for sending electromagnetic radiation (8) in a monitoring area (6). The protection device has a signaling and/or switching unit (12) to automatically acknowledge a safety-relevant emergency stop or path limiting function for a drive control (3) of a workpiece transport device (2) after a person (19) leaves the area such that the transport device again unhinderedly and automatically starts and retracts in a workpiece supply space (4) that is formed as a rotatable mounting table. An independent claim is also included for a method for securing a machining centre.
