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 ...

Recent advances in robotics have accelerated the development of sophisticated collision detection methodologies and enhanced human–robot interaction (HRI) protocols to ensure safety and optimise ...

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 ...

Toposens, a manufacturer of safety equipment, announces the launch of a 3D ultrasonic collision avoidance sensor for automotive and industrial vehicles. Called ECHO ONE, the product is based on ...

When you imagine robots, you might think of massive machine arms along a factory floor, with welding sparks flying. Today, as robotic technologies advance, so do complementary sensor technologies. One ...

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 ...
