OVERVIEW

Protect Your Robot with the Tokinarc Shock Sensor

In the world of robotic welding, crashes are an unfortunate reality. Whether it's a jig clamp left open, a part loaded incorrectly, or a programming error, your robot arm is going to hit something eventually. The Tokinarc YEA000020 Shock Sensor is your insurance policy against these accidents. Designed specifically for Motoman-EA torches (including the popular YMENS-300R and 500R series), this unit acts as the "nervous system" for your welding gun. When the torch nozzle bumps into a fixture or the part, this sensor feels the impact and instantly kills the robot's movement. Without it, a simple programming mistake could turn into a bent goose neck, a broken mounting flange, or even stripped gears in the robot's wrist.

This is the genuine Tokinarc replacement part for the T-Axis unit type S. If you are running YMENS-300R, 308R, 505R, or 508R torches, this is the exact unit you need to get your cell back up and running after a damaging crash has compromised your old sensor. Welders and operators know that downtime kills production targets. Trying to bypass a broken shock sensor or using a rigged-up fix is dangerous and can lead to thousands of dollars in damage if the robot crashes again without protection. Swapping out a damaged sensor for a fresh YEA000020 is quick and restores the factory protection level your robot was designed with.

The "Type S" unit is built to handle the daily grind of a welding shop. It holds the torch rigid during fast weaves and travel moves so your weld seam stays straight, but it has the sensitivity to "break away" the moment unexpected resistance is met. This balance is what makes the OEM Tokinarc part superior to generic alternatives. It keeps your Tool Center Point (TCP) accurate so you aren't constantly reteaching points, but it saves the day when things go wrong.

Don't wait until your robot drives the torch through a car frame to think about your collision protection. Keep your Motoman-EA torch protected with the correct shock sensor. It is a small investment compared to the cost of a new torch neck or a service call for the robot arm itself. Ensure your automated welding line stays productive, safe, and profitable with reliable crash detection.

FAQ

The primary function is to detect physical collisions between the welding torch and the workpiece or fixtures. Upon detection, it signals the robot controller to emergency stop, preventing damage to the torch and robot arm.

This sensor is designed for the Motoman-EA Torch series, specifically models YMENS-300R, YMENS-308R, YMENS-505R, and YMENS-508R.

Yes, this is the genuine Tokinarc Shock Sensor, ensuring full compatibility with the specified T-Axis unit type S configurations.

Type S refers to the specific mechanical configuration and mounting style of the T-Axis unit used on the compatible Motoman-EA torches.

No, this is a specialized component for robotic welding torches and is not compatible with or necessary for manual hand-held MIG guns.

A damaged sensor may fail to detect a crash, leading to severe damage to the torch neck, the robot's wrist motors, or the tooling fixtures during a collision.

While the unit is pre-calibrated for sensitivity, the Tool Center Point (TCP) of the robot should always be verified or re-taught after replacing any component in the torch assembly.

No, this is a physical collision sensor. It detects impact force on the torch body, not electrical faults like wire burn-back.
