Load Limiters and 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.
