CE conformity for Industrial robot cell — Define the product boundary first

The robot arm can produce high speed and force over a wide range of motion; it can reach an area that was previously empty by programming change. The fixed fence is not placed according to the current circulation video alone; mechanical access, worst position of the equipment and part, standing distance, and predictable program error are taken into account. The robot base, the fixture, and the load it carries correct the mass, allowance, and assembly limits of the manufacturer for the load it carries in the integration drawing.

The mode selection is limited by the authorized key or equivalent method; the activation device works in conjunction with low speed, low-pressure movement, and an automatic outward circuit switching barrier.

The flight function determines the significant part of the robot risk. source torch radiation, smoke and fire; pressure feeding mold movement; cutting-edge particle bouncing; vacuum or mechanical load drop. If safe axis-boundary functions on the robot controller are used, parameter access is maintained, backup and change records are kept, and the sensor-logic-actuator chain is evaluated along with the targeted risk reduction of the cell.

Product profile

Technical features that change the evaluation

The following data shows why even models with the same product name can change the path of conformity.

Risk architecture

The main dangers to be addressed in the file

The protective, control and verification approach shall be based on the actual product cycle.

01

Tapping and knocking with robot movement

The arm, elbow, suit or load can attach the person to a fence, fixtures or process machine.

02

Load drop from the flight crew

Vacuum loss, holding fault or misperception can throw a burden on the energy loss and the tracking of the holding is solved.

03

Unexpected speed in teaching mode

An error in the wrong mode, program command, or activation device puts the person inside at risk.

04

The wrong location of the protective area

If the scanner or light curtain is within standing distance, a person can reach the danger without a robot stopping.

05

Secondary process-related hazard

Sources, cutting, gluing, hot pieces, or pressing robots can also pose risks when they're stopped.

06

Software and parameter changes

If the safe area, speed or program is changed without permission, the protection assumption is compromised.

The conditional law matrix

When will the regulation take effect?

A single product name doesn't give the same answer for all models.

The subjectThe situationProduct-based evaluation
The machine's layoutYES, YESIn Turkey, 2006/42/AT is applied for the robot cell; the next national compliance is confirmed on the date of the cell's first market launch or first service. The order completed by the integrator is assessed.
EMCIT 'S A MESS .EMC scope is assessed in terms of the intended environment; driver and communication patterns affect test requirements.
LVDNO , NOT AT ALL .The LVD is not applied to machinery as a separate directive; electrical safety objectives are met within the scope of machinery legislation.
PEDIT 'S A MESS .The robot cell is not covered by PED because it uses only pneumatic retainers; it is examined if there is an accumulator or pressure-processing equipment at the edge of the coverage.
ATEXIT 'S A MESS .The conformity of the fuel source for the category of robot and end equipment in the zone containing paint, solvent, combustible dust or gas is also considered.
Collaborative appIT 'S A MESS .It is not enough to present the robot as a collaborative robot (cobot); the task, contact, compression area, load, speed and validation are studied on application basis.

Standard and verification approach

  • EN ISO 10218-1: It is used for the design requirements of the industrial robot; the state of harmonization under the current edition legislation is also checked during the project history.
  • EN ISO 10218-2: The robot application and cell integration cover the installation, modulation, protection and verification requirements; validation is confirmed.
  • EN ISO 12100: The robot structures the common hazards of process, equipment and material transfer throughout its life cycle.
  • EN ISO 13855: It supports the positioning of light curtains and scanners according to the position performance measured by the approach speed.
  • The following is the list of the countries of the European Union:: Cell fence is used to reduce defeat by selecting doors and locking arrangements.
  • The following is the list of the countries of the European Union:: Design, calculation, software and verification are performed by selecting the appropriate method for security-related control functions.
  • EN 60204-1: When the cell's applicability to electrical equipment is confirmed, it is used in feeding, circuitry, protective coupling and testing; it is not an automatic selection.
Important distinction

CE conformity for Industrial robot cell — Product conformity is a separate study.

ISO management system certification does not replace product-specific risk analysis, test evidence and compliance file.

The compliance work plan

In what order will the technical preparation proceed?

Cell boundary and usage definition

The robot, the equipment, the process machine, the transfer, the operator's tasks, the load and all operating modes are documented together.

Risk reduction concept

The fence, sensing, mode and safe movement functions are selected according to the movement envelope, posture, process energy and human access.

Functional security design

The required performance, sensor-logic-output architecture, calculations, software parameters and error responses are recorded.

Cell verification

Each door and space, mode transition, reinstallation, load loss, emergency stand and process locks are tested with measured scenarios.

Delivery and change management

Program load limits, teaching, debugging and revalidation conditions are supplemented by guidance, statements and backups.

Product records to search for in the technical file

  • General cell location and movement envelope
  • Robot-load-fix integration data
  • Task-based risk assessment
  • Drawings of fences, doors and sensing areas
  • Electrical and pneumatic and safety schemes
  • Software records with PL or SIL accounts
  • Standing distance and function verification report
  • Process tests with flight equipment
  • Teaching-support-requirements
  • In Turkey, 2006/42/AT requires an AT Statement of Conformity in the robot file. The EU/AEA includes 2006/42/EC for the robot on 19 hob 2027; the robot record uses the AT/EC Statement of Conformity. This robot cell passes into the EU Statement of Conformity under (EU) 2023/1230 from 20 hob 2027.

They 're the entries for a healthy offer .

  • Robot brand model and access capacity
  • Load carried with the flight function
  • Processing machine and turnaround definition
  • Cell location and access points
  • Working modes and security hardware
  • Control-software-safe movement architecture
  • Current risk analysis and test status

More than the number of robots, the process hazard, human interaction, safe movement use, program maturity and the need for verification determine effort.

Frequently Asked Questions

CE conformity for Industrial robot cell — Technical answers about

Does the document that came with the robot arm cover the entire cell?

Depending on the robot's supply form, a declaration of conformity or a declaration of assembly and assembly instructions for the partially completed machine may be provided. In both cases, the end team, fixtures, processes, protection, transfer and joint control are included in the final cell evaluation.

Does the choice of a cooperative robot make the fence unnecessary?

The collaborative robot tag does not determine the solution alone. It is assessed by speed, strength, team, parts, compression zones, and human-tasking application tests.

How do you verify the door function of the robot cell?

The required performance of the function, input-logic-exit architecture, error response, posture and reinstallation behavior are confirmed as a whole.

Can we use the browser's catalog distance?

The settlement calculation is based on actual total reaction time and posture, approach and resolution, and requires field measurement and violation testing.

Can the cell door be kept open during class?

Risk reduction is verified with measures such as only defined mode, authorized selection, activation device, limited movement and automatic transition barrier.

Should the computer file be updated when the robot program changes?

If the movement envelope, speed, load, equipment, safe area or process changes, risk analysis and affected confirmations are updated with a change record.
