Sensor-based collision monitoring
Sensor-based collision monitoring constantly monitors the robot's surroundings and stops it when obstacles are present, protecting equipment and personnel safety.
Physical-Chemical Mechanism of Action
Sensors like ultrasonic, infrared, or laser sensors continuously capture environmental data. When an obstacle is detected, the sensor sends a signal that instructs the robot to stop.
Metallurgical Relevance & Welding Risks
In welding robots, collision monitoring is critical to avoid mechanical damage to the robot and damage to the workpiece. Without such monitoring, unwanted collisions or damage can occur.
Workshop Practice & Action Guidelines
Make sure all sensors are correctly calibrated and mounted. Test collision monitoring regularly with obstacles of different sizes and materials. If problems occur, check sensor function and communication between sensors and the robot system.
