- This lack of conventional guarding coupled with an angled robot mounting base allows very easy and uncluttered access to the machine
- The TA and Machine combination are fully CE Marked by Mazak
Warning area - audible warning signal given if entered and robot slows to 10% of the programmed speed
Protect Area - the robot will stop immediately if entered
