Highlights in this Edition:
Important Standards for Collaborative Robotics Design
Industrial robots can reduce the number of workplace injuries by moving people away from dirty, dangerous, and dull jobs. Collaborative robots (cobots) have the additional capability to work alongside human operators without guarding due to programmed safety measures such as power and force limiting.
Outdoor Power Equipment Requirements
As outdoor power equipment (OPE) technology advances, safety challenges increase, and the cost/benefit balance between design, manufacturing, and testing becomes more complex.
Field Evaluations
and
NRTL Certification
For any piece of machinery or electrical installation, field labelling and product certification are critical for compliance. Even though many Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories (NRTLs) are also recognized Field Evaluation Bodies (FEBs), the processes are very distinct.
