ATI: Robotic Collision Sensor 9160-101-P00-BN-R-N
The Protector™ is a collision sensor, or crash protection device, designed to prevent costly damage to robotic end effectors 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.
The Collision Sensor consists of a piston housing (body) closed with a cover plate assembly. A stem assembly protrudes through the cover plate assembly. The cover plate assembly incorporates a cam to accurately and repeatably position the stem assembly. The stem assembly is forced into position against the cam by a piston. The piston is supported by user supplied compressed air and an optional assist spring. The stem provides a mounting surface for customized interface plates. Tapped and through holes on the back surface of the body allow mounting of the Collision Sensor. All load‑bearing components and those with wear surfaces are made of hard‑coat anodized aluminum, hardened bearing steel, or hardened tool steel



Installation
The Collision Sensor is typically mounted with its body toward the robot and its stem toward the user tooling, however this is up to the user. The Collision Sensor can be mounted to the robot using an interface plate. A second interface plate may be required for mounting the Collision Sensor stem to the tooling. Blank and custom interface plates are available from ATI.
