Collision detector QS-AW: Protect your equipment and boost productivity. Unique design for all industries.

Collision sensor QS-AW for collision sensor force protection

Arc laser plasma collision sensors have been uniquely designed for your harsh applications such as welding or laser cutting.


  • Dynamically variable collision sensor that operate on air pressure. Breakaway threshold adjusts to match the working force ranges of robot/application
  • Non compressive, metal to metal seal for reliable and consistent operation
  • Opening of QuickSTOP air chamber at impact, pressure exhaust and switch signal stop the robot

Advantages

  • Senses angular and compressive forces. QuickSTOP’s unique design offers protection in X, Y and Z axis
  • Linear and angle strokes available to remove the forces from end of arm tooling and robot wrist at trip point
  • Performance readiness is monitored by QuickSTOP. When pressurized, the switch indicates that the QuickSTOP is reset in proper position

Benefits

  • Minimize down time, quick reset, no need for recalibration, stopping robot at source of impact allows for easy identification of cause
  • Minimize robot and expensive end of arm tooling damage during robot programing. A must for any education or robot training cell
  • Easy to implement, simple to adjust pressure level according application, quick return on investment
