Abstract
Safety architecture for an automated work cell provides a barrier separating a work cell area from an operator or personnel area. The safety architecture enables personnel to conduct routine interactions with nonfunctioning motion platforms or positioning machines located in the work cell area through openings in the barrier separating the personnel area from the work cell area while other motion platforms or positioning machines in the work cell area continues to function.
