Load Limiters & Collision Sensors

AGI end-of-arm load limiters mount between robot wrists and tooling to protect the robot during overload conditions and/or collisions.  Operating with air pressure, they are dynamically variable.  A regulated air supply provides positive, variable pressure to hold loads rigid during normal operation.  During an impact, the air chamber seal opens while a ‘shutdown’ signal is simultaneously sent to the system controller.

Use of proper load limiters and collision sensing allows production/assembly lines to run longer while protecting expensive robots & tools.  Costly system repairs are drastically reduced as well as providing protection for end of arm tooling.
