A method for executing a manipulator process with at least two manipulator poses with a manipulator, in particular a robot, wherein the manipulator comprises at least one drive means having a motor and a brake, comprising the steps of:

Method and apparatus for implementing a manipulator process

The invention relates to an industrial robot having a robotic arm. The robotic arm has several axes (A-A) and at least one electric drive, which comprises an electric motor (-) and power electronics () actuating the electric motor (-) and is equipped to move the relevant axis (A-A). The industrial robot () is equipped to short-circuit the electric motor (-) in the event of emergency braking simultaneously by means of two independent electric current paths.

Industrial robot having redundant emergency brake circuit

In a method and device for monitoring a movement-controlled machine, such as a manipulator, having an electronically commutated drive motor for which a commutation angle is provided based on its detected real position and a control variable, in particular a predetermined desired position, a limit value is determined for a rate of change in particular a time derivative of the real position of the drive motor, and the commutation angle is predetermined such that the rate of change of the commutation angle does not exceed a limit value.
