Electromechanical slip sensor

Abstract

Sensor indicates direction of slip and slip rate of objects handled by remote manipulators. Freely movable spheroid with staggered pattern of surface indentations rotates in direction of slipping body, tilting shaft with conductive disk plate. Plate assembly is bent toward contact corresponding to direction of slip and is flicked by indentations at rate corresponding to slip rate. Slip direction and rate are determined using LED's arranged circularly or microcomputer with CRT display.
