Easy Integration

There is no compromise to safety in robotic applications. Lightweight robots or collaborative robots (cobots) are capable of complex and unexpected movements and need to stop immediately ensuring the safety of human operators. This is where smart couplings and smart brakes provide intelligent flexibility and guidance. For this reason, robot arms must come to a standstill as quickly as possible in the event of an emergency or safety stop and must not descend in an uncontrolled manner after the power is switched off or in the event of a power failure.
