What is the role of the Safety Fence or Safe Stop in jogging?

• A. To disable all axis movement during jogging.
• B. To log safety events.
• C. To ensure the robot cannot move into a safeguarded area and protect personnel.
• D. To accelerate jog speed.

Answer: (C)

The primary idea here is that a Safety Fence or Safe Stop is about protecting people by enforcing a safe operating boundary during jogging. The Safety Fence defines a guarded area, and the Safe Stop acts when the robot is approaching or would enter that zone. When triggered, it halts or restrains the robot’s movement so it cannot move into the safeguarded space, reducing the risk of injury to personnel working nearby. This function is about boundary protection, not about logging safety events or increasing jog speed, so its purpose is not to disable all motion or to drive faster.
