    2.1 Intended Use OnRobot tools are intended to be used on collaborative robots and light industrial robots with different payloads depending on the end-of-arm tooling specifications. OnRobot tools are normally use in pick-and-place, palletizing, machine tending, assembly, quality testing and inspection and surface finishing applications.

    Safety 2.5 PLd CAT3 Safety Function A safety-rated function has been designed as two buttons at the two arms of the product, conforming to ISO 13849-1 PLd CAT3. This Safety Function has a max response time of 100 ms and a MTTF of 2883 years. The behavior of the safety system is described below: If something activates the two Safety Buttons, see picture below, the safety control system stops motion of the two arms of the product.

    Safety 2.6 Screwdriver Safety feature 2.6.1 Screw-bit System Always Hidden The Screwdriver has been designed so that the Screw-bit System can always be hidden inside the housing to enhance safety. The Move Shank command will allow the user to hide the Screw-bit System inside the housing at any time.
  • Page 11: Automatic Safety Feature

    Safety 2.6.3 Automatic Safety Feature An automatic safety feature has been implemented to reduce the possibility of the users to be in danger. This safety feature is activated if the Screw-bit System detects a force above 40N during operation. In such a case, a mechanical mechanism will immediately retract the shank and hide it (up to 35 mm screw length).

  • Page 128 Hardware Specification Types of Grips In the document the internal and external grip terms are used. These grips are related to how the workpiece is gripped. External Grip Internal Grip Gripping Force The total gripping force highly depends on the finger angle θ. For both internal and external grip, the lower the finger angle, the higher the force that will be applied as shown in the graph below.
  • Page 129 Hardware Specification NOTE: The total force applied depends on the finger angle, the input current (limited in some robots' tool flange connection) and the friction coefficient between the materials of the fingertips and the workpiece. Finger movement and force The gripping action has two phases: Phase 1: For a safety reason, the fingers will start moving with a low force (maximum ~50 N) to avoid damaging anything that could get clamped between the gripper fingers and the workpiece.
