Sensitive bumpers are safety devices used in industrial settings to detect and prevent collisions between machines or other objects. They consist of a flexible rubber or foam surface with built-in sensors that detect impact or pressure. When a collision occurs, the sensors trigger an immediate stoppage of the machinery, preventing further damage or injury. Sensitive bumpers are designed to be highly sensitive, with the ability to detect even the slightest touch or nudge, making them ideal for use in areas where personnel or equipment must be protected from accidental collisions. They are commonly used in automated guided vehicles (AGVs), material handling equipment, and other industrial machinery.
