Collision sensors mechanically detect when robot arms encounter obstructions. They absorb the crash energy and quickly stop the robot to prevent costly damage to robot arms and tooling. One shop found ...

Robotic collision sensors are crash protection devices that detect a crash before or during a collision. A collision sensor sends a signal back to the robot’s brain (robot controller) in such ...

The SR-48 Robotic Collision Sensor has a lower operating range than the SR-61 model making it suitable for smaller payloads. The unit is designed to absorb the "crash" and reset itself, virtually ...

The robotics industry can take pride in its impressive safety record with more than 1.5 million industrial robots operating worldwide, according to Carole Franklin, safety director for the Robotic ...

Imagine walking in an area unknown to you — blindfolded. The chances that you are going to hit something are very high. And that’s exactly what robots would face if not equipped with sensors. Using ...

A new category of sensing technology transforms mobile robot vision from 2D to 3D, improves safety performance and provides 50-80% cost savings compared to traditional, LiDAR-based systems and sensor ...

When you can package a radar system in a 10- × 10-mm chip, you end up with a new type of sensor that was unimagined a few years ago. Today, it’s becoming common practice to use a radar chip for some ...
