Manual, Collision Sensor,SR‑48 Document #9610‑60‑1012‑06 1.3 Safety Precautions WARNING: Do not perform maintenance or repair on the Collision Sensor with air pressure applied, current supplied to the sensor, or the robot not in a safe condition. Injury or equipment damage can occur if this is not observed. Always ensure that air pressure has been vented from the unit, that electrical current is not supplied to the Collision Sensor’s signal circuit, and that the robot is in a safe, locked‑out condition consistent with local and national safety standards before performing maintenance or...
Manual, Collision Sensor, SR‑48 Document #9610‑60‑1012‑06 2. Product Overview The Collision Sensor is a pneumatically‑pressurized device offering protection to industrial robots and tooling in the event of accidental impacts and unanticipated loads. The Collision Sensor works by “breaking away” from its working geometry in the event of excessive torsional, moment, or compressive axial forces, or any combination of these.
Manual, Collision Sensor,SR‑48 Document #9610‑60‑1012‑06 3. Installation The Collision Sensor is commonly mounted with its body toward the robot and its stem toward the user tooling, however, this is strictly up to the user. 3.1 Mechanical Installation Refer to Figure 2.1 The Collision Sensor can be mounted directly to the robot or to the user tooling using the dowel pin holes and the clearance / tapped holes in the Collision Sensor body.
Manual, Collision Sensor, SR‑48 Document #9610‑60‑1012‑06 3.2 Electrical Connection The Collision Sensor is connected to the user’s control wiring as a normally‑closed, dry‑contact switch. The following sketch details the connections between the internal switch and the pins in the connector block Table 6.2), utilize the brown‑black‑blue color assembly.
Manual, Collision Sensor,SR‑48 Document #9610‑60‑1012‑06 3.3 Pneumatic Connection Compressed air is to be supplied to the port marked “P” in the range of 20 psi to 90 psi. This port accepts #10‑32 or M5 pneumatic fittings. The pressure setting required for a particular application can be estimated using the procedure outlined in Section 3.3.1—Calculating Estimated Pressure Setting The exact pressure...

Manual, Collision Sensor,SR‑48 Document #9610‑60‑1012‑06 3.3.1.2 Obtain Required Pressure Setting The pressure setting required can be approximated from the following formula: P = Pm + Pt + Pf + Pm + Pt Where Pm, Pt, and Pf are the pressure components related to the moment, torque, and force load components expected at the break‑away.
Manual, Collision Sensor, SR‑48 Document #9610‑60‑1012‑06 3.3.2 Determining Exact Pressure Required 1. Set the pressure approximately 5 psi (0.3 Bar) higher than the pressure calculated in Section 3.3.1—Calculating Estimated Pressure Setting. 2. Run the robot through a fully loaded cycle. 3.
Manual, Collision Sensor,SR‑48 Document #9610‑60‑1012‑06 5.1 Periodic Lubrication Instructions 5.1.1 Cover Plate and Stem Disassembly Note: Cleaning may be accomplished with a clean, dry rag. For more thorough cleaning, use isopropyl alcohol. 1. Remove the (4) socket head cap screws securing the cover plate assembly to the body using a 2.5 mm hex key (refer to Figure 5.11).
Manual, Collision Sensor, SR‑48 Document #9610‑60‑1012‑06 5.1.2 Cover Plate and Stem Cleaning and Lubrication 1. Clean the lubricant from the working surfaces of the cam and the clearance ring. Set the cover plate assembly aside for later re‑use (refer to Figure 5.22).
Manual, Collision Sensor,SR‑48 Document #9610‑60‑1012‑06 5.1.3 Cover Plate and Stem Re‑assembly 1. Apply a generous coating of CRC Extreme Pressure Moly C.V. Joint Grease (Moly Grease) to the top surface of the piston (refer to Figure 5.4). 2. Apply a generous coat of moly grease to each of the (3) ball segments on the stem assembly and to the rounded edge of the shoulders between the ball segments.
Manual, Collision Sensor, SR‑48 Document #9610‑60‑1012‑06 6. Troubleshooting The Collision Sensor will offer exceptional performance in normal operation. However, the Collision Sensor is not a compliance device and frequent collisions should be avoided to maximize performance and life. The Collision Sensor is designed to automatically return to its working position once the disturbing force is removed.
