Component detection in the robot gripper
Inductive sensors, photoelectric proximity sensors and magnetic cylinder sensors monitor pickup of the metal parts by the gripper. Flat inductive proximity sensors such as the IQM or photoelectric proximity sensors in miniature or small design have optimal properties for part detection and take up little space in the gripper. The MZ2Q-C magnetic cylinder sensors monitor two switching points. In this way, with the opening and closing of the gripper cylinder can be monitored using only one sensor.
