End-of-Arm-Safeguard (EOAS)

Safeguard your collaborative application with the world’s first contactless safety solution for robot end-effectors and workpieces using SICK’s End-of-Arm-Safeguard (EOAS). Designed to facilitate interaction with the robot, the EOAS offers safeguarding in conjunction with UR collaborative robots. Now more than ever, safety is a priority in robotic applications. Whether it is pick place, handling assembly, or machine tending applications, the EOAS enables safe interaction with automatic restart. Create more freedom for human and machine with a protective field around the end-of-arm-tooling (EOAT). The protective field moves with the robot and is always where needed. This opens new spaces for human and machine that can be used freely and productively. With deep integration into the UR-eco-system and a URCap available, easily install the system within 15 minutes! Increase the speed and productivity of your human robot collaboration application knowing the EOAS will keep you safe. While thinking safety, consider using SICK’s End-of-Arm-Safeguard for your next Universal Robots collaborative application!

The EOAS generates a protective field around gripper and workpiece to prevent the robot from hitting any object outside of its normal operation. The local protective field moves with the robot arm and reacts dynamically depending on the current position. There is a muting mode for faster working areas of the robot if need be. Configure the EOAS entirely via a URCap with a 3-step process. Determine ""process points"" so the normal environment can be taught to the sensor. Mount the sensor directly on the robot flange and connect via 2 cables with M12. The EOAS provides contactless and reliable Time of Flight (ToF) technology.
