AI Technical Summary
Existing mounted robots are prone to slipping or moving on their own when the motor fails or the software control is improper, posing a safety hazard for maintenance.
A mechanical limiter is used to limit the position of the robot on the track through a limit arm and a drive device. The motor drives the limit arm to rotate to different positions to achieve or release the limit. The combination of photoelectric limit switches and mechanical limit structures ensures reliability.
It effectively prevents the robot from slipping or sliding in the event of a fault, reducing safety risks. At the same time, it ensures the normal operation of the robot when no limit is required. The structure is simple and easy to maintain.
