Dobot Exclusive SafeSkin: Pioneering a New Standard in Collaborative Robot Safety
POSTED 11/27/2024
Dobot SafeSkin, the industry's first contactless pre-collision safety technology, is redefining safety standards in human-robot collaboration. This groundbreaking innovation sets a new benchmark, elevating cobot safety to unprecedented heights while empowering manufacturers to achieve faster production without compromising operator protection.
With the ability to detect obstacles within 10–20 cm and respond in just 10 milliseconds, SafeSkin eliminates the need for preemptive slowdowns. This allows collaborative robots to operate at speeds of up to 1 m/s—boosting productivity by up to four times compared to traditional methods.
Unparalleled Benefits of Dobot SafeSkin
Proactive Collision Prevention
SafeSkin employs Dobot’s proprietary pre-collision sensing technology, which detects obstacles within 10–20 cm and halts the robot before contact occurs. This game-changing innovation ensures:
- Uninterrupted Workflow: Robots resume operations automatically once the obstacle is cleared, maintaining high productivity.
- Enhanced Safety: Even at high speeds, SafeSkin eliminates collision risks, creating a safer environment for human operators.
360-Degree Protection with Plug-and-Play Flexibility
SafeSkin delivers full-coverage protection for the entire robot surface without occupying additional workspace. Its wraparound design is easy to install, enabling quick deployment and cost-effective safety upgrades for manufacturers.
Faster Speed Without Sacrificing Safety
While conventional cobots must reduce speeds to around 0.25 m/s in shared workspaces, SafeSkin allows collaborative operations at speeds of up to 1 m/s. This optimization increases efficiency by up to four times while maintaining worker safety.
Damage Mitigation in High-Speed Scenarios
SafeSkin reduces collision impact greatly, even during high-speed operations. This protects workers, equipment, and products, minimizing downtime and repair costs.
With its compact design and seamless integration, SafeSkin empowers manufacturers to accelerate automation safely while driving efficiency—a transformative solution for Industry 4.0.
A Game-Changing Innovation for Automation
“SafeSkin is not just a safety add-on; it’s a paradigm shift,” said Jerry Liu, CEO of Dobot Robotics. “By preventing collisions before they occur, we’ve created a solution that ensures humans and robots can work together in harmony, with no compromise on efficiency or safety.”
As industries increasingly rely on automation, SafeSkin stands out as a solution that enhances safety while boosting efficiency. It’s a game-changer for Industry 4.0, offering manufacturers a future where cobots amplify human productivity without trade-offs.
Safe Move, Never Stop—Dobot SafeSkin is more than an innovation; it’s a commitment to a safer, faster, and smarter future in industrial automation.
