Description
In this introduction video tutorial, you’ll get a complete introduction to Argus Safety, the new modular safety system integrated into KUKA iiQKA.OS2. You’ll learn how safety concepts have evolved from iiQKA.SafeOperation to a flexible, points-based licensing model and how to configure safety zones, rules, and tools graphically in iiQWorks.Sim. The video also demonstrates how licensing, rule-based logic, and full-arm monitoring work together to simplify commissioning. By the end, you’ll understand how to set up and validate a safety configuration that can be used both in simulation and on a real robot controller.
The content of this video is intended solely as a supplementary aid for mitigation purposes. It is not a substitute for formal training or certified instruction required for commissioning or operational procedures.
For official training and certification, participation in a KUKA College course is required. A link to the official KUKA College website is provided in the video description: https://go.kuka.com/KUKAcollegeiIQKAOS2
