End-of-Arm-Safeguard: Collision protection around the gripper for safe human-robot collaboration

End-of-Arm-Safeguard is an innovative safety system for collaborative robot applications. The system creates a protective field around the robot tool, reduces the risk of crushing injuries, and makes it possible to work safely in the immediate vicinity of the robot. Thanks to contactless technology, the robot stops before a collision occurs. This increases the confidence of operators and increases productivity. With its small protective field, End-of-Arm-Safeguard offers a protection solution exactly where it is needed, thereby creating more space for humans and machines. The system is designed for the e-Series from Universal Robots. It is installed directly on the robot flange. Configuration is carried out via the UR Teach Pendant.
