Análise das normas de segurança nacionais na utilização de robôs colaborativos em indústrias do Brasil

Abstract

This is an analysis of safety standards associated with existing collaborative robots in Brazil. Currently the regulatory standard NR-12, which regulates work safety in machinery and equipment, does not evaluate the use of collaborative robots in the Brazilian industry, and this situation has raised questions of how to proceed with the integration of this technology. The intent herein is to evaluate: the concept that defines the cobots, and how these devices are inserted in national regulatory standards. Initially we conducted a brief description of this technology and set its concept taking into account international standards such as ISO 10218-1, ISO 10218-2 and ISO / TS 15066. Following the definition, it was then evaluated how NR-12 is absorbing this new work science, taking into account the technical note nº31/2018. At the end of this document we conducted a case study to exemplify and solidify the content herein developed. The discussions in this article can help students and automation professionals during the development or integration of a collaborative cell.
