2008 CATALOG Robotic Collision Sensor Protector™

PROTECTOR Product Description The Protector™ is a collision sensor, or crash protection device, designed to prevent costly damage to robotic endeffectors resulting from robot crashes. The Protector’s features include: Automatic reset, high repeatability, large moment and torsional rotation, rugged design and low cost. The Protector’s capabilities and features make it an excellent investment to protect robots and tooling while minimizing downtime and eliminating the need for human intervention. The unit has been tested to operate over millions of cycles without failure. Angular Crash Compressive...

How to Select a Protector Model For a successful application, the Protector must be sized appropriately. Contact ATI at 919-772-0115 for assistance with model selection or use the following information. To select the correct model, you must consider all forces acting on the Collision Sensor: Static, Dynamic, and Working forces, produced by the end-of-arm tooling while performing its intended task. Once a specific model is selected, the nominal pressure setting for the break-away point must be determined. The required air pressure setting must be readily available with ample range. For example,...
