Abstract

An assembly includes a conveyance mechanism configured to move in a first direction and a second direction opposite the first direction, and an energy limiting device coupled to the conveyance mechanism. The energy limiting device is configured to move in the first direction with the conveyance mechanism, and move in the second direction as the conveyance mechanism moves in the first direction upon an amount of force greater than a threshold amount of force being imparted to the energy limiting device. A sensor is configured to generate sensor data associated with movement of the energy limiting device in the second direction as the conveyance mechanism moves in the first direction.
