EFFECTO QuickSTOP Collision Sensor Review Summary
QuickSTOP protects tools and machines in a crash. Regulated air holds the sensor rigid; on impact the seal opens, the tool deflects and the controller gets a signal within 2 to 18 ms. Because the trip point depends on air pressure, it can be adjusted in operation. Eleven sizes run from the 0.11 kg QS-7 for tiny tools to the 16.8 kg QS-7500 that trips at up to 1,049 Nm of moment. It reseats with ±0.013 to ±0.038 mm repeatability, and metal-to-metal seals need no maintenance.
Pros
11 sizes
Adjustable trip
Fast response
Maintenance-free seals
Cons
Needs regulated air
Adds length to the tool stack
Who It Is For
It fits any robot cell where a tool crash would be costly.
