Collaborative robots, known as cobots, are rising as they are more affordable, versatile, and user-friendly in various industries. However, as they are used to working alongside humans, extensive safety measures must be taken.
The customer was able to detect any potential force or torque anamolies of the cobot, especially when working alongside a human worker during operations.
Interface’s 6A40A 6-Axis Load Cell can be installed at the joints of the radiosurgery robot. The amount of force and torque exerted must be monitored in order to ensure each joint can handle the precise movements and loads without failing. These results can be logged, displayed, and measured when connected to Interface’s BX8-HD44 BlueDAQ Series Data Acquisition System with included BlueDAQ software.
