      Identifying Pallet sensors on the AX10

      Learn how to distinguish between Type A and Type B sensors used on Robotiq’s AX Palletizing Solution

      Context
      This article helps you identify the two pallet sensor types used in the Robotiq AX Series Palletizing Solution. Correct identification is required when replacing or ordering new sensors.

      Information

      Robotiq's palletizing solution uses two types of pallet sensors:

      Sensor Types

      • PAL-SENS-A

        • Red/White wires

        • Also called Type A Pallet Sensor

        • Mounted facing the 7th Axis when positioned on the left pallet, or facing the pallet when mounted on the right side

      • PAL-SENS-B

        • Yellow/Black wires

        • Also called Type B Pallet Sensor

        • Mounted facing the 7th Axis when positioned on the right pallet, or facing the pallet when mounted on the left side

      Ordering Notes

      • Each sensor SKU contains one sensor only

      • To fully replace all pallet sensors on a system, you will need to order:

        • Two PAL-SENS-A sensors

        • Two PAL-SENS-B sensors

       

      Conclusion
      Correctly identifying sensor types ensures proper replacement and ordering. For more guidance, visit Robotiq Support.
