Embedded miniature photoelectric distance sensors provide anti-collision protection during automated production
Summary During automated production of electronic equipment, compact multi-finger robot grippers transport parts between operations. In the event of a malfunction or an unplanned human intervention, there’s an unacceptable collision hazard; designers insist on an overriding anti-collision system. Miniature distance sensors, embedded in the outward-facing surfaces of the gripper jaws, monitor the position of potential obstructions during travel, preventing accidents Contrinex distance sensors Customer Values Embedded miniature distance sensors ensure reliable detection of potential obstructions, eliminating collision hazardsCompact 4mm x 4mm x 11m sensor envelope with no external housing allows easy integration in tight spacesSensing distances of up to 40mm offer designers highly versatile options when specifying equipmentIndustry-standard PNP analog output with a…
