Hello Scott, Assuming you are integrating the robot cell in the US, you will want to follow ANSI/RIA R15.06-2012, Part 2 (Note: ANSI/RIA adopted ISO10218, Part 1 and Part 2). Clause 5.10.4.2 dictates using ISO1357 to determine the required height, with the a minimum height of 1400mm (55in) from the adjacent walking surface. ISO13857, Table 2 - Reaching Over Protective Structures - High Risk, is the table you want to refer to. In general terms, industry standard is a minimum of 1800mm (72in), and possibly more depending on the height of the robot hazard, distance, risk of material being flung outside the fenced area etc.

Perimeter Guard Dimension (per ISO 10218 & R15.06-2012) hope this helps
