Abstract:
1. A monitoring device for monitoring and/or sensing predefined positions of a robotic device, the robotic device having at least two axes of motion, the monitoring device comprising a main support rotatable about a Z axis and a robotic arm supported thereby, the monitoring device comprising at least two sensors and corresponding sensor active faces assigned to each of said at least two sensors, and said monitoring device operable to send to the robotic device an enabling signal as a function of a signal available at one of the at least two sensors to implement predefined movements, wherein a first sensor of said at least two sensors is defined to sense a horizontal position and/or rotational position of the main support and a second sensor of said at least two sensors is defined to sense a horizontal position of the robotic arm, particularly in its retracted position and selective ones of said sensor active faces are arranged in the horizontal motion zone and/or swivelling zone of the robotic device independently of the robotic device for the first sensor.
