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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

They never tire, rarely make mistakes, and don't take many vacations. But if a part is misaligned, or a box is out of position, or there's something else not right in the robot's work cell, the robot ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 we think about radar, we picture rotating dishes scanning the skies from atop air-traffic control buildings, radomes peering across the sea from coastal hilltops, and roadside police checking the ...
