Collision Sensors - Overview
Robotic Collision Sensors mechanically detect when the robot arm* has encountered an obstruction, absorb the crash energy and quickly stop the robot to prevent costly damage to the robot arm and tooling.
Please view the Pneumatic Comparison Chart to quickly see all the RAD Collision Sensor Pneumatic Models in one convenient table.

Pneumatic RAD's Ultimatic™ Robotic Collision Sensor features a repeatability of 0.0005" (0.013mm) and allows the user to easily adjust the amount of resistance the unit must overcome before stopping the system. |
 |
Pneumatic High-Angle RAD's High-Angle Ultimatic™ Robotic Collision Sensor provides the excellent repeatability and features of the original Ultimatic™ Robotic Collision Sensor and 63% additional angular compliance to help prevent costly damage to the robot and/or tooling even when the robot is running at higher rates of speed. |
 |
Pneumatic Spring-Assist RAD's Spring-Assist Ultimatic™ Robotic Collision Sensor has the ability to handle nearly double the payload of our standard pneumatic collision sensor model with NO increase in footprint! |
 |
Pneumatic Stainless Steel RAD's Stainless Ultimatic™ Robotic Collision Sensor has all the features and benefits of our standard pneumatic collision sensor model but with the added benefit of a stainless steel construction that enables it to be used in caustic, clean room, and food handling environments. |
 |
Spring-Loaded RAD's Uni-Coupler™ Robotic Collision Sensor provides crash protection when compressed air is not available. |
