"The Rest of the Robot"


What Are Collision Protection Modules?

What is it?

A collision protection module is a device that protects your tooling and/or surrounding hardware in the event of a robot controller failure by yielding when contact is made between your tooling and another object.  

Collision Protection Module

 

How does it work?

If the tooling crashes, pressure in the module is released, making it compliant.  Sensors simultaneously signal the robot to stop.  Following the crash the unit is reset.
