Collaborative VS Industrial Safety Options

The primary difference between a collaborative and industrial robot is that collaborative does not require fencing, while the industrial does. With a collaborative robot, operators can work alongside the cell using area scanners only. Due to the RPZ-MAX Industrjal palletizer being much faster, and able to carry a significantly higher weight per minute, it requires fencing around the robot to keep operators safe.
