Here\'s exactly what happens. This demonstration walks through the safety system on the RBTX palletizer, available in two configurations: hard guarding paired with a light curtain, or an array of area scanners covering the perimeter of the robot\'s working area. In this video we trigger the light curtain option. What you\'ll see: On startup, the robot returns to home position at a reduced safe speed before entering full-speed operation — no unexpected fast motion on power-up. When the light curtain is broken mid-cycle, the robot pauses immediately and the HMI displays "Safety stopped. Clear the area and press resume." Restarting is deliberately manual. The system will not resume on its own once the beam is clear, and the resume button only illuminates after the area is confirmed clear — so a person still inside the cell can\'t be surprised by a robot that decides it\'s safe to move again. Press resume and the robot picks up exactly where it left off, so a safety stop doesn\'t cost you the cycle. Safety requirements vary by application, layout, and local regulation.
