Collision Sensor for Industrial Robots

The SR-61 Collision Sensor is the latest addition to the product line of collision protection devices that has a lower operating range for increased sensitivity in applications using 3 to 5 kilogram capacity robots. The patented SR-61 Collision Sensor is designed to prevent costly damage to robotic end-effectors resulting from robot crashes. The re-settable Collision Sensor is designed to absorb the "crash" and reset itself, virtually eliminating tool damage and lost training or production time. Several benefits and features of the Collision Sensor make it an ideal solution to minimize downtime and eliminate damage, such as: Rotational and Axial Motion, High Repeatability, Energy Absorption, Rugged Design, Consistent Breakaway Points, Automatic Reset, Dynamically Variable Trip Points and Quick-Response Crash Detection, among others. In operation, the Collision Sensor is adjusted to support typical loads experienced by the robot arm in all directions: angular, compression and torsional. During the collision th
