Factory automation systems — from single articulated robots to fully autonomous production cells — need sensors that deliver accurate data at high speed, communicate natively via IO-Link or fieldbus, and are small enough to integrate into tooling and end-effectors. When humans and robots share space, safety-rated sensing becomes necessary.
Zimmer Group Grippers
Zimmer Group electric grippers with integrated part-presence sensors confirm grip force and part contact before each robot transfer, eliminating dropped-part faults without external sensors.
Bircher CareMat
Bircher safety mats provide presence detection in robot cell safety zones, stopping robot motion when personnel enter the hazard area without requiring light curtains.
Contrinex Smart Cameras
Contrinex smart cameras provide 3D guidance data for bin-picking robots, identifying randomised parts in tote bins and computing pick poses for the robot controller.
Lion Precision Capacitive
Lion Precision capacitive sensors mounted in assembly robot wrists detect contact forces during precision insertion tasks, preventing damage to components and fixtures.
Schmersal Safe Signal
Schmersal safe signal processing systems implement ISO/TS 15066 speed-and-separation monitoring for cobots operating alongside workers, allowing dynamic safety zones.
Murrelektronik I/O Systems
Murrelektronik IO-Link masters and I/O systems connect sensors and actuators throughout flexible production cells with full parameter read-back and diagnostic transparency.
Schmersal Systems
Schmersal enable switches and safety controllers implement teach-mode safety on robot pendant systems, allowing controlled robot motion during programming without full-speed risk.
Electric and pneumatic grippers with integrated part-presence for robot end effectors.
