Improved safety of operating systems using tablets
Commercial tablets, which are readily available and inexpensive, are becoming more common in industrial settings. However, there is a barrier of "safety compliance" that stands in the way.
We want to use tablets for teaching robots and manual operation of AGVs, or we have already adopted tablets, but our customers are demanding safety measures. How in the world do I install safety equipment?" Are you worried about this?
At sites that have already adopted tablets, they are being used in conjunction with grip switches or tablets are mounted on handy boxes, but these methods tend to compound additional challenges, such as box development man-hours and securing workers.

The Safety Commander's telescopic holder structure allows easy mounting of any size tablet, eliminating the need to develop a special box for attaching safety devices to tablets.
In addition, while two workers are required to operate the tablet and grip switches in hazardous areas at industrial sites, the addition of safety functions to the tablet enables operation by a single worker, leading to a reduction in man-hours. Of course, maintenance support can also be easily provided.
The ergonomic grip structure of the Safety Commander and the placement of the enabling switches make it easy to hold and operate regardless of the dominant hand. By operating the tablet while pressing the enabling switch (ergonomically designed for danger avoidance OFF ⇒ ON ⇒ OFF and 3-position operation) and by operating the emergency stop (safety lock, safety potential, and direct open circuit operation functions). Safety is maintained as before, and this is a major advantage.
In addition, the system is also robust against a 1.2 meter drop (*1), providing a safe and secure environment for customers using the system.
