Abstract
A safety system for an industrial robot, specifically an industrial robot and a method for implementing a safety system via predefined safety functions. To perform such safety functions the robot comprises in a joint connecting two robot arm sections a first position sensor (132) for sensing the angular orientation on an input side of a gear in the joint, and a second position sensor (133) for sensing an angular orientation on an output side of the gear.
