Robotic Collision Sensor Benefits:
- High Repeatability: Following a collision, the use of precise locating
components enables the Protector to reset to within 0.001 inches of its original
position.
- Generous Range of Motion: During a crash the Protector can comply
large distances in response to any type of crash (angular, axial or torsional) thus
allowing the robot controller ample time to take corrective action.
- Rugged Design for Axial Compliance: The rugged design and construction
of the Protector, with generous use of hardened tool steel in contact and wear areas,
allows the unit to be used as an Axial Compliance Device for end-effectors. The
unit can also provide angular and torsional compliance for certain applications.
- Energy Absorption: The impact energy generated during a crash is
absorbed by a pneumatic chamber. This protects the tooling from being damaged by
crashes. After absorption, this energy is redirected to automatically reset the
device upon removal from the crash-causing object.
- Consistent Break-away Response: Break-away response is similar
at a given pressure independent of whether the crash is angular, compressive axial,
or torsional.
- Flexible Mounting Surfaces: Threaded and throughhole mountings
are provided for added flexibility. The simple mounting patterns reduce the stack
height of the Protector and tooling assembly.
- Automatic Reset: After a crash, the Protector will self-reset when
the robot removes the tooling from the crash situation. This eliminates the need
to enter the robot cell to reset the crash protection device.
- Adjustable sensitivity: The Protector is factory set to 0.020 inches
of axial displacement for the sensor to detect a crash. Using the sensitivity adjustment
screw, this can be increased or decreased.
- Optional spring provides two trip points: Air pressure may be used
to obtain a higher break-away point during high-inertia motion and the optional
preset spring only for a lower break-away point. Inquire about the range of preset
springs available for each model.
- Quick-Response Crash Detection: The 2-wire circuit can be configured
as sinking or sourcing, AC or DC. Nuisance tripping of the signal is avoided with
the switch set to actuate within 0.020 inches of axial motion. A Brad Harrison connector
and cable are used to pass the crash signal. Angular Crash Compressive Axial Crash

- Field-rebuildable design (with prior customer training and special
tools)
- Field-replaceable connector block assembly
- IP 65 environmental protection rating (extra cost option)
