Robot collision protection prevents damage to robotic systems by detecting and responding to unexpected impacts. These systems use mechanical, pneumatic, or electronic sensors to absorb shocks and stop movement when a collision occurs. Common solutions include torque sensors, breakaway units, and force-limiting devices that protect both the robot and surrounding equipment. Collision protection is essential in assembly, welding, material handling, and automated machining, where robots operate at high speeds and precision is critical. By reducing downtime and maintenance costs, these systems improve robot safety, reliability, and longevity in industrial automation.
