CRX High Speed Mode Using Safety Area Scanner

Apr 10, 2024

The video explains how to connect an area scanner and enable high-speed mode on a CRX Robot. A safety-rated device such as an area scanner is needed to protect operators in high-speed mode, which increases production when no operator is in the workspace. The parts used include a safety laser scanner, a safety relay, connectors, and a shielded eight-conductor cable. The area scanner detects the operator's presence and signals the robot to slow down and enable collaborative mode. Detailed steps for connecting the SafeZone Mini scanner to the Mini Plus Controller's internal IO terminal conversion module are provided, along with instructions for programming the area scanner and defining zones based on a valid risk assessment. The video also covers using the tablet teach pad to enable high-speed mode and set up the CRX for high-speed operation, including selecting to implement high-speed mode and entering signals for zones one and two.
