The essence of cobotic systems lies in the interaction between robots and operators. A motorized structure, often a robotic arm with specialized tools, is controlled through a human-machine interface and software. Collaborative robots address Industry 4.0 challenges by providing precision, dexterity, stability, and the ability to handle heavy loads, all while operating in confined spaces.
However, achieving these features requires dedicated engineering. Mechanical architectures must integrate custom sensors for safety, control, and data collection. These sensors enable real-time decision-making by observing force, torque, and other measurements accurately.
Our whitepaper, addresses challenges like safety, reliability, integration, and data processing. Finite Element Analysis optimizes sensor design, predicting behavior under various conditions. The sensor creation process involves material selection, design optimization, prototyping, and testing.
Cobot sensors must be reliable in varying environments and integrate seamlessly with control systems. They also need to be cost-effective, easy to maintain, and adaptable to different tasks.
This whitepaper explains how sensors based on strain gauges play a pivotal role, providing precision even in demanding applications.
Collaborative robots, or cobots, are increasingly popular and are designed to interact safely and in close proximity to humans, offering OEMs a cost-effective way to automate industrial processes.
Smart products are crucial to emerging new markets - they transform the value for the end-user by providing more than core functionality. HBK creates custom OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers) sensor solutions to deliver essential data for real-time feedback and control.
The final piece of the puzzle for your advanced robotic and cobotic systems. Customised sensor solutions allow robotics and cobotics OEMs to seamlessly coordinate data with control functions.
Once an Imagineer has identified an opportunity for a ‘smart’ product, the OEM typically wants the development of custom sensors to proceed very rapidly. You need a partner with a deep understanding of your application, and HBK experts can actively contribute and advise on fundamental sensor system design.
We recently interviewed Ashley Sturgeon, HBK OEM Custom Sensor design engineer, about robotics applications. Learn from a professional how to build sensors to create a more intelligent product.
