Cobot Safety

ISO/TS 15066 gets cited like scripture and applied like superstition. The body-region force limits in Annex A are the most misread numbers in cobot integration. Half the deployments we see treat 140 N at the chest as a hard ceiling for every contact event. That's a quasi-static limit. Transient contact carries a separate threshold around twice as high, and the speed-and-separation logic driving most real risk assessments actually lives in ISO 10218.

The articles in this section work through the standards the way you'd apply them on a line. Risk assessments built to survive audit. Validation tests designed around the contact scenarios in your cell. The methodology is drawn from production cobot deployments where the safety case had to hold up to a TÜV reviewer with hard questions.

If you need a measurement system that holds up to that kind of review, our CoboSafe pressure measurement platform was built for exactly this work.
