Fanuc Dual Check Safety Test

Dual Check Safety is available on any FANUC robot beginning with System R-J.

Dual Check Safety is independently certified to meet all applicable ANSI standards.

With Dual Check Safety enabled on a robot, no additional guarding is needed.

To keep the Dual Check Safety passcode from being lost, its a good idea to be sure as many people as possible know it.
