Component Specifications

Definition
The Trigger Pocket is a critical mechanical component integrated into receiver assemblies, designed to detect or respond to specific conditions (such as part presence, position, or pressure) and initiate subsequent machine operations. It typically consists of a recessed housing with sensors, actuators, or mechanical interfaces that engage when triggered, ensuring precise timing and control in automated systems.
Working Principle
Operates on mechanical, pneumatic, or electronic triggering mechanisms. When an external stimulus (e.g., a part entering the pocket) meets predefined conditions, it activates sensors or switches, sending signals to the receiver's control unit to execute commands like starting, stopping, or adjusting processes.
Materials
Stainless steel (AISI 304/316), aluminum alloy (6061-T6), or engineering plastics (POM, PEEK) for corrosion resistance and durability. Surface treatments may include anodizing or plating.
Technical Parameters
  • IP Rating IP65 for dust/water resistance
  • Dimensions Customizable per receiver model
  • Response Time <10 ms
  • Operating Force 5-50 N
  • Temperature Range -20°C to 80°C
Standards
ISO 12100, ISO 13849-1, DIN EN 60204-1
