Sensors
Sensors form the eyes and ears of the robot allowing it to understand the environment around it; from safety related systems that detect when humans or other objects approach the working envelope of the robot, to sensors built into the robot that provide positioning information or even touch in the form of pressure sensors.

Actuators
Actuators provide the robot’s mobility and allow the robot to interact with its environment. Actuators also require control systems to interface with the robot’s computer. Distrelec provide actuator solutions including diverse actuators and motors as well as the required electronic control boards.

Environment and HMI
Environment management ensures both the safety of the robotic system and the safety of the personnel working in close proximity to the robot and includes fenceless cage solutions using light curtains to the more common emergency buttons that allow operators to quickly shutdown the robot if anything goes amiss during normal operation. Distrelec also provide components for human-machine interfaces including industrial displays, indicator lights and panel switches.
