ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The overload protector is secured between a robot arm and a tool to protect the tool from being overloaded or being forced into an abnormal position. The protector includes a housing having a cavity within which a flange is located. The tool is connected to the housing and the robot arm is connected to the flange. Air under pressure is introduced into the cavity to force the flange against a wall of the cavity. When the tool is overloaded or is moved into an abnormal position, the housing rocks with respect to the flange with resulting leakage of fluid from the cavity and a loss of pressure within the cavity. A pressure switch de- tects such pressure drop and deactivates the robot.
