Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What is a robotic sensor?
A1. A robotic sensor is a system that detects variations in parts and compensates for the variation by shifting the robotic programs.
Q2. When it is effective?
A2. A sensor is effective when it is difficult to keep programmed points in consistent locations and there are part accuracy problems requiring the operator to frequently adjust taught robot points. When this occurs, sensors can be used to automatically shift the welding points.
Note: Sensors cannot create teaching programs - it can only shift the current programs. Teaching an initial program is always required.
Q3. How can we determine which sensor is best?
A3. OTC DAIHEN can provide various types of sensors for almost any situation. Please reference the simple chart below to find the best sensor for your application.
