QS-7 Collision Sensor

Product catalog summary
Features and Benefits
  • Dynamically Variable Trip Points: Allows programming of collision sensors at all operational speeds, adjusting breakaway thresholds to match robot/application force ranges.
  • Non-compressive Metal Seal: Ensures reliable, consistent operation with permanent repeatability.
  • Force Sensing: Detects angular and compressive forces in X, Y, and Z axes.
  • Performance Readiness Monitoring: Pressure switch closes when pressurized, indicating proper reset position.
  • Impact Response: Air chamber opens upon impact, exhausting pressure and causing signal loss, protecting tools and robot wrists.
Applications
  • Material Handling
  • Machine Loading/Unloading
  • Pick and Place Operations

Custom solutions are available for specific application needs.

Catalog excerpts

QS-7 Collision Sensor-1

QuickSTOP Collision Sensor QuickSTOP is a dynamically variable collision sensor that operates on air pressure. At impact, the air chamber is opened, and the shutdown signal is immediately sent to the system controller. • Dynamically Variable Trip points allow you to program your collision sensor at all speeds of an operation. The breakaway threshold adjusts to match the working force ranges of your robot/application. • All QuickSTOP models feature a noncom-pressive, metal to metal seal which ensures reliable and consistent operation, giving you permanent repeatability. • Senses Angular and Compressive Forces. QuickSTOP’s unique design offers protection in the X,Y, and Z axes. • QuickSTOP monitors Performance Readiness. When pressurized, the pressure switch is closed indicating that the QuickSTOP is reset in the proper position. • At the moment of impact, the QuickSTOP’s air chamber is opened, exhausting pressure which instantly opens the pressure switch and causes loss of signal. • Pressure loss upon impact offers better tool protection as the QuickSTOP absorbs energy and removes the force from your tool and robot wrist. Applications • Material Handling • Machine loading/unloading • Pick and place operations Not exactly what your application requires?
