Collision Sensors

QuickSTOP Arc Welding

QS_AW is the arc welding variant of the QS collision sensor family, designed for arc-welding robotic cells with the same dynamically variable trip system.

Models

QS_AW is the arc welding variant of the QS collision sensor. It uses the same dynamically variable air-pressure trip system as the standard QS, adapted to operate in arc-welding robotic cells.

Advantages

  • Dynamically variable trip points
  • Permanent repeatability
  • Detects angular, rotational and compressive forces
  • Adapted for arc welding environments
  • Metal to metal sealing for a quicker collision detection and no maintenance
