SAFETY ROBOTICS - SAFE, PRECISE, PIONEERING
SENSOR SOLUTIONS WITH SAFETY CERTIFICATION FOR SAFE ROBOT SYSTEMS
In modern robotics, safe motion sequences are crucial—especially when robots interact with humans. Whether in manufacturing, logistics, or medical technology, TWK offers robust sensor solutions for the precise measurement of position, inclination, and speed—for cobots, mobile platforms, and medical assistance systems. Functional safety does not begin with the drive, but with the sensor: Safety functions such as Safely Limited Speed or Safe Direction are only as reliable as the data on which they are based—using appropriately certified sensors.
Especially in collaborative robots, our safety sensors can be seamlessly integrated into axes and end effectors and deliver tamper-proof data in real time. Thanks to specially selected sensor systems and compact mechanical designs, they can be installed anywhere and individually adapted to the spatial conditions. This enables reliable speed monitoring in collaborative robot cells. On gravity-loaded vertical axes, TWK sensors enable safe brake monitoring in addition to position feedback. The sensors communicate with the controller either individually or in a daisy-chain network. In this way, TWK sensors make a decisive contribution to the functional safety of modern robotic systems.
