| Sensing Type | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Mechanical | A mechanical collision sensor is a spring-loaded device that automatically trips its control when a vertical or lateral force is applied. Typically they activate when they come in contact with an obstruction. | ||
| Pneumatic | A pneumatic collision sensor is a pneumatically actuated device that automatically trips its control when a vertical or lateral force is applied. Typically they activate when they come in contact with an obstruction. | ||
| Mechanical and Pneumatic | A mechanical and pneumatic collision sensor is a mechanical sensing device that uses pneumatics for dynamic compliance. This is usually configured as a combination of springs and regulated air. | ||
| Noncontact / Collision Avoidance | A sensor that acts like a compliance device and helps the robot avoid damaging impacts. In robotic applications this is an emerging technology. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary sensors. | ||

|
| ||
| Angular Compliance (+ / -) | Angular compliance is the distance in degrees from vertical the sensor will allow before signaling the control to shut off. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| |||
| Rotary or Torsional Compliance (+ / -) | Rotary compliance is the distance in degrees about a point the sensor will allow before signaling the control to shut off. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| |||
| Axial Compliance | Axial compliance is vertical displacement, positive or negative, in inches or millimeters, the sensor will allow before signaling the control to shut off. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| |||
| Repeatability | The ability of the robot to reset to a safe position and get to that same position consistently. | ||
| Search Logic: | All matching products will have a value less than or equal to the specified value. | ||
| |||
| Pre-trip Compliance | This is an adjustable compliance setting where the user determines what is the allowable deflection. | ||
| Search Logic: | "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice. | ||

|
| ||
| Emergency Reset Switch | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Normally Open Switch | The sensor output has a switch that is normally open. It closes upon activation. | ||
| Normally Closed Switch | The sensor output has a switch that is normally closed. It opens upon activation. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted, specialized or proprietary emergency reset methods. | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||

Features and Options

|
|
| ||
| Features and Options | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Auto Reset | Auto reset is the ability of the machine to self-reset power after a collision. | ||
| Adjustable Breakaway Setting | Adjustable breakaway is a combination of adjustable air regulators and springs forces that are used to reset the control after a collision. | ||
| Dynamic Variable Trip Point | Dynamic variability is the force, moment and torque resistance that can be set by the user. | ||
| Center Through Hole | Center through hole allows for cabling to run through the sensor instead of outside and around it. | ||
| Dust Bellows | Dust bellows are used to protect the sensor collar in applications where there are contaminants such as dust, spray paint and moisture. | ||
| Field Repairable | Field repairable means that the sensor can be fixed on site instead of having to ship it to the manufacturer for repair. | ||
| Interface Plates | Interface plates allow the collision sensor to be mounted on different brands of robots. | ||
| Sensor Shield | A debris shield protects the collision sensor in harsh machining operations. | ||
| Quick Disconnect | Robot tool changers come in two types - hardwired and quick disconnect. Quick disconnect reduces the time needed to change from one configuration to another. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary features or options. | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
