ABSTRACT:
A method for preventing interference between relatively moveable components of a computer controlled industrial machine in which the position of the moveable machine elements are controlled by a computer program. For each movement, the computer first determines a predicted path for the movement and thereafter determines whether the path will intersect a safe zone, a safe zone being defined as a zone containing an element which is to be protected from contact with the moveable element. If a predicted path intersects a safe zone, the machine operation is halted. Provision is made for manual moves, i.e., movements not directed by the computer up to the nearest intersection point with a safe zone.
