In automation, shuttles and linear transfer alleys often create shear points. Sensing corner bumpers on shuttles can prevent injury and damage to people and objects at those points. Sensing bumpers are constructed with durable and resistant materials, which can withstand environmental conditions such as salt fog, says the company. The safety bumper solution consists of electrical switch, fail-safe wiring, internal materials, and a cover, and optional printed covers.
