OPS+ Collision and Overload Sensor

The OPS+ effectively protects the robot and end effector from being damaged during a crash.- The OPS+ will allow the EOAT to deflect and comply in the event of a crash.-  At the same time, a mechanical switch will detect the deflection and send a signal to the robot controller, and then an E-stop can be issued.- This protects the system from the damage that would have otherwise occurred...

Capacitive Sensor Ensures Optimum Images for Surgical Microscopes

Surgical procedures require a perfect view of the operating area. Surgeons often use surgical microscopes for support. A high-precision capacitive sensor is used to stabilise the microscope's field of view. The lenses of a surgical microscope are attached to long tripod arms. These enable the surgeon to accurately position the microscope and provide the surgical team with more space to manouvre....
