Monitoring Device For Position Monitoring A Robotic Device and Production System Including A Monitoring Device
First Claim
1. A monitoring device for monitoring and/or sensing predefined positions of a robotic device having at least two axes of motion, comprising a main support rotatable about a Z axis and a robotic arm supported thereby, the monitoring device comprising at least two sensors and sensor active faces assigned to the sensors, and said monitoring device sending the robotic device an enabling signal as a function of the signal available at the one and/or other sensor to implement predefined movements, wherein wherein said first sensor is defined to sense a horizontal position and/or rotational position of the main support and the second sensor a defined horizontal position of the robotic arm, particularly in its retracted position and selective sensor active faces are arranged in the horizontal motion zone and/or swivelling zone of the robotic device independently of the robotic device for the first sensor.

Abstract
Proposed is a monitoring device for monitoring and/or sensing predefined positions of a robotic device (5) having at least two axes of motion. The monitoring device comprises at least two sensors (15, 16), the first (15) of which is defined to sense a horizontal position and/or rotative position of the main support (9) and the second sensor (16) a defined horizontal position of the robotic arm (11). The monitoring device comprises furthermore sensor active faces (17a, 18a, 18b) arranged selectively for the first sensor (15) arranged in the horizontal motion zone and/or swivelling zone of the robotic device (5).
