The Pneumatic High-Angle Ultimatic™ Collision Sensor is RAD’s patented mechanical collision sensor that:

  • Stops the robot* within 2 to 6ms of a collision to minimize costly damage to the robot and/or tooling. RAD’s collision sensor provides protection even if the robot itself is not moving.
  • Offers a full 13° of angular compliance – 63% more than the original Ultimatic™ Pneumatic Collision Sensor model
  • Absorbs the crash energy without releasing the air pressure in the unit thus preventing tooling ‘sag’ and eliminating the effects of compressed air being released into the environment.
  • Automatically resets to within ± 0.0005″ (0.013mm) in x, y, and z dimensions and to within ± 0.017º rotationally to maximize uptime and eliminate the need for human intervention.
  • Allows pneumatic adjustment so the user can easily change the amount of resistance the unit must encounter before signaling a collision.
  • Has a compliance adjustment feature that lets the user determine the amount of deflection allowed before a signal is sent to your robot’s E-stop or controller.

Operating Principle
RAD’s Pneumatic High-Angle Ultimatic™ Collision Sensor works by establishing the minimal points of contact required to restrain all degrees of freedom (movement) in normal operation. When a collision occurs, external forces upset this balance thereby allowing angular, rotational, or compressive compliance. This motion opens a normally closed switch and sends a signal to your robot’s E-stop or controller.

Note: The Pneumatic High-Angle Ultimatic™ Collision Sensor can be used as a compliance (alignment) device by installing the unit without connecting the sensor switch. Please see the Compliance Devices section for more end-effector compliance options.

The Stainless Steel Ultimatic™ Collision Sensor is RAD’s patented mechanical collision sensor that: Stops the robot* within 2 to 10ms of a collision to minimize costly damage to the robot arm and/or tooling. RAD’s collision sensor provides protection even if the robot arm itself is not moving.Absorbs the crash energy without releasing the air pressure in the collision sensor. Keeping the air in the collision sensor prevents tooling ‘sag’ and eliminates the effects of compressed air being released into the environment.Automatically resets to within ± 0.0005″ (0.013mm) in x, y, and z dimensions and to within ± 0.017º rotationally to maximize uptime and eliminate the need for human intervention.Resists corrosion and is able to be cleaned due to its stainless steel construction.Offers 8º of angular compliance (please see RAD’s Pneumatic High-Angle Collision Sensor for information on collision sensors with 13º of angular compliance).Allows pneumatic adjustment so the user can easily change the amount of resistance the unit must encounter before signaling a collision.Has a compliance adjustment feature that lets the user determine the amount of deflection allowed before a signal is sent to the robot’s E-stop or controller.Robotic Collision Sensors provide robot crash protection and safety by mechanically detecting when the robot arm* has encountered an obstruction, absorbing the crash energy, and quickly stopping the robot to prevent costly damage to the robot arm and tooling. Operating PrincipleRAD’s Stainless Ultimatic™ Collision Sensor works by establishing the minimal points of contact required to restrain all degrees of freedom (movement) in normal operation. When a robotic crash occurs, external forces upset this balance thereby allowing angular, rotational, or compressive compliance. This motion opens a normally closed switch and sends a signal to your robot’s E-stop or controller. Note: The Stainless Steel Ultimatic™ Collision Sensor can be used as a compliance (alignment) device rather than a collision sensor by simply mounting the unit without wiring it to the robot.

RAD Spring-Loaded

The Uni-Coupler™ Collision Sensor is RAD’s patented, spring-loaded, mechanical collision sensor that: Stops the robot* in the event of a crash to minimize costly damage to the robot and/or tooling. RAD’s collision sensor provides protection even if the robot itself is not moving.Absorbs the crash energy by allowing up to 15º of deflection following a collision.Automatically resets to within ± 0.002″ (0.051mm) to maximize uptime and eliminate the need for human intervention.Allows up to 0.040″ (1.02mm) “give” in the coupling before the load sensing mechanism is activated (in compliant models) to avoid nuisance tripping.Operating PrincipleRAD’s Uni-Coupler™ Collision Sensor is a spring-loaded mechanical device that signals your robot’s E-stop or controller when the tooling encounters an obstruction. The lateral or vertical force applied during a collision opens a normally closed switch that sends the “stop” signal. Note: The Uni-Coupler™ Collision Sensor can be used as a compliance device by installing the unit without connecting the sensor switch. * can also be used on linear actuators, pick & place machines, and other automated equipment.
ATI Industrial Automation Robotic Collision Sensors

Robotic Collision Sensor Features: High Repeatability: Following a collision, the use of precise locating components enables the Protector to reset to within 0.001 inches of its original position.Generous Range of Motion: During a crash the Protector can comply large distances in response to any type of crash (angular, axial or torsional) thus allowing the robot controller ample time to take corrective action.Rugged Design for Axial Compliance: The rugged design and construction of the Protector, with generous use of hardened tool steel in contact and wear areas, allows the unit to be used as an Axial Compliance Device for end-effectors. The unit can also provide angular and torsional compliance for certain applications.Energy Absorption: The impact energy generated during a crash is absorbed by a pneumatic chamber. This protects the tooling from being damaged by crashes. After absorption, this energy is redirected to automatically reset the device upon removal from the crash-causing object.Consistent Break-away Response: Break-away response is similar at a given pressure independent of whether the crash is angular, compressive axial, or torsional.Flexible Mounting Surfaces: Threaded and through hole mountings are provided for added flexibility. The simple mounting patterns reduce the stack height of the Protector and tooling assembly.Automatic Reset: After a crash, the Protector will self-reset when the robot removes the tooling from the crash situation. This eliminates the need to enter the robot cell to reset the crash protection device.Optional spring provides two trip points: Air pressure may be used to obtain a higher break-away point during high-inertia motion and the optional preset spring only for a lower break-away point. Inquire about the range of preset springs available for each model.Quick-Response Crash Detection: Nuisance tripping of the signal is avoided with the switch set to actuate at 0.020 inches of axial motion. A 3-Pin M8 Connector and cable are used to pass the crash signal.Field-rebuildable design (with prior customer training and special tools).Field-replaceable connector block assembly.IP 65 environmental protection rating (extra cost option).

RAD’s Spring-Assist Ultimatic™ Pneumatic Collision Sensor minimizes the potential for costly damage to the robot arm or tooling in the event of a crash and maximizes uptime by automatically returning to within 0.0005″ (0.013mm) of its starting position once it has been separated from the source of the crash. NOTE: RAD Spring-Assist Ultimatic™ Collision Sensors effectively replace the discontinued EOA MultiClutch Breakaway Safety Devices. The Spring-Assist Ultimatic™ Collision Sensor is RAD’s patented mechanical collision sensor that: Sends a signal to the system’s E-stop or controller within 4 to 10ms of a collision to minimize costly damage to equipment and/or tooling.
