It ensures the best possible force application at the optimal measuring point. The optimal point is marked by a cross, see illustration on the next page. A color sensor in the CBSF-XS detects the damping element. CoboSafe CBSF-XS 325-2810-015 EN11...
Damping element K1 Mounting hole for Spring for pressure damping element measuring film Fig. 9: Preparing for measurement Keep in mind that the CBSF-XS has to acclimate to the surroundings for at least two hours before beginning operation. 325-2810-015 EN11 CoboSafe CBSF-XS...
■ Combine only measuring devices such as those described NOTICE in this manual. If upon collision the robot exceeds the application limits of the force and pressure sensors, the measurement system can sustain damage. CoboSafe CBSF-XS 325-2810-015 EN11...
