    Rig Collision Detection System

    Agreed on the proximity sensors/switches. Looks like that will be the most pragmatic approach. Thanks for your responses.

    Rig Collision Detection System

    Hi waross, There is custom loom cable which boundless all the motor power cables and encoder cables, which trails the robot and where each motor's power and encoder cable are connected to its respective servo drive housed in an electrical cabinet. If I check continuity on a meter between the...

    Rig Collision Detection System

    Dear Eng-Tips Community, We require a collision detection system for our robot with the plan to electrically isolate the rig from the adjacent structures and putting it at 24 VDC with a 100ohm resistor. Then when the rig contacts any of the adjacent structures the voltage will change as the...

    Operational Leakage Current from Servo Drives

    Thanks waross for your response and your suggestions. Splitting the loads is a practical option. We'd need to rewire the junction box to accommodate the additional equipment but that shouldn't be a problem. Least we will maintain the 30mA protection. I will also evaluate the drives as you...

    Operational Leakage Current from Servo Drives

    Dear Electric Power and Transmission Forum: As part of our HILS testing we are operating 4 Bosch HCS01 servo drives (24VDC for control, 230VAC single phase for motor supply)and their corresponding AC motors in an office-type environment. The earth leakage in the office has a trip sensitivity of...
