Customer's Challenge
As a kind of two-dimensional robots, cutting tables are subject to the Machinery Directive. In order to comply with it, safety controls are used for the necessary safety functions, e.g. to shut down the cutting tools and stop the movement of the cutting head.
These safety components should be as small and lightweight as possible so as to minimize the load on the drive motors.
Outcome
The hardware and software concept was designed for functional safety according to ISO 13849, including FMEDA. For Zünd Systemtechnik AG processes and checklists for functional safety were created, based on the Solcept process assets.
Thanks to the close and open cooperation, including the definition of the necessary processes and checklists for the customer, the knowledge transfer on functional safety processes and methods already took place during the project.
Implementation
Solcept supported the customer from the concept phase through solution finding and certification in a joint team (co-design). Early assessment of risks and initial estimation of metrics during the concept phase avoided costly corrections during the course of the project. The fulfillment of the metrics was ensured by a detailed FMEDA after the schematic design.
Customer
