Inside of a robotic cell, is there a minimum required distance between conveyors or any equipment in the cell for aisles or access? Does RIA have definitions? OSHA? CSA?

Not sure if you are asking about the distance between modules inside of a workcell, or the distance necessary between the barrier fence and the modules inside the workcell. RIA standard 15.06.1999 Table 5 has the answers regarding distances between the fence barrier, and the machines in the cell. Our standard product will allow the fence to be placed as close as 6-1/2 inches to the outside reach of the enclosed equipment. To reduce that distance you would have to spec a tighter mesh in the barrier fence. Steve Diebold WireCrafters 800-626-1816 www.wirecrafters.com
