• Light curtains

• Emergency stop buttons

• Arc glare shields

What does an emergency stop (E-Stop) do?

• Allows robot to continue operating

• Stops robot motion immediately

• Increases robot speed

• Resets the robot's programming

What is the function of light curtains in robotic safety?

• To provide a physical barrier

• To detect motion and stop the robot

• To enhance visibility in the work area

• To protect against arc glare
