Estun Robotics Functional Safety Solutions: Intelligent Safety to Empower Global Industrial Manufacturing
In the wave of rapid development of intelligent manufacturing, safety has become a core element that cannot be ignored. With the implementation of EU Machinery Regulation 2023/1230 and China's “Implementation Program for Promoting Equipment Renewal in the Industrial Sector”, the demand for safety products is growing at an unprecedented rate.
The application of safety products is particularly important in scenarios such as human-computer interaction, various types of operating machine tools, protection systems for stacker cranes in three-dimensional warehouses, and logistics production lines. From the complex environment of human-computer interaction to the collision avoidance system for mobile robots, every detail is related to productivity and personnel safety.
Estun ESS (ESTUN Safety Solution) safety function series products, as the latest research and development achievements of Estun, with excellent safety performance and innovation, have the CE Machinery Directive and Functional Safety Compliance Certificate from TÜV Rheinland Group, and the product design is fully compliant with EN ISO 10218-1:2011 and EN 60204-1: 2018 standards . 2018 standards, Estun robots provide reliable safety for customers worldwide.
The ESS series covers a total of 12 ISO 13849 PL d, Cat.3 certified safety features, including key functions such as Safe Emergency Stop, Safe Protective Stop, and Static Monitoring. Whether in automatic or manual mode, the robot receives the closest safety monitoring to ensure a foolproof production process.
The Estun complete solution for functionally safe robots offers significant advantages. First of all, it meets the requirements of functional safety and efficient production. In the stable production state of the robot, through the cooperation of the functional safety controller and external sensors, different safety zone modules can be efficiently divided. When external equipment or personnel are in different zones, the robot will react accordingly according to the preset dispositions.
For example, in the safety zone, the robot will stabilize production at normal speed to guarantee production efficiency; when entering the warning area, the robot will automatically slow down to ensure equipment and personal safety; and once in the danger zone, the robot will immediately stop working to effectively guarantee production safety. At the same time, relying on the safety controller's override, regardless of the status of the teach pendant, controller and drive, the safety controller can cut off the power supply and stop the machine at the first time of the accidental trajectory, to protect the safety of personnel and property. Simple and reliable recovery mechanisms also allow the site to quickly return to production from downtime.
In addition, the solution also has the advantage of flexible setting of functional safety zones. A variety of functional safety sectors can be set up according to the actual needs to meet the human-robot synergy requirements of different types of workstations. This flexibility allows Estun's Functional Safety Robotics solution to work optimally in all types of application scenarios.
The ESS Functional Safety series not only supports the PROFIsafe safety communication protocol, but also adapts to the integration needs of high-density production lines such as automotive manufacturing. Whether it is for handling, palletizing, welding, assembly or other applications, Estun can provide customized safety solutions to ensure safe and efficient operation of the robot system in various work environments.
With the launch of ESS series products, Estun not only enhances its competitiveness in the global market, but also sets a new benchmark for the safety standard of domestic robot industry. In the future, Estun will continue to increase the coverage of ESS safety kits and realize the functional safety options for all series of industrial robots to meet the growing market demand. At the same time, Estun will continue to pay attention to the dynamic changes in global safety regulations, constantly innovate and improve the safety product system, and contribute more power to the sustainable development of intelligent manufacturing.
