5.3 Workspace, safety zone and danger zone
Workspaces are to be restricted to the necessary minimum size. A workspace
must be safeguarded using appropriate safeguards.
The safeguards (e.g. safety gate) must be situated inside the safety zone. In
the case of a stop, the manipulator and external axes (optional) are braked
and come to a stop within the danger zone.
The danger zone consists of the workspace and the stopping distances of the
manipulator and external axes (optional). It must be safeguarded by means of
physical safeguards to prevent danger to persons or the risk of material dam-
age.
