Magnetic Safety Clutch

Magnetic Safety Clutch
The shown ergonomic and adjustable hand fixture has been developed to couple the human hand with the robot in a way that a data-glove can be worn and that the fingers can be freely moved. This fixture is equipped with a patented magnetic safety clutch. If critical forces or torques occur, the clutch decouples the hand from the robot and interrupts the safety circuit such that the robots stop moving.
