38mm Nd:YAG Laser Process Head System
Pneumatic High-Angle Collision Sensor: PRCS-38
The Pneumatic High-Angle Collision Sensor works by establishing the minimal points of contact required to restrain all degrees of freedom (movement) in normal operation. When a collision occurs, external forces upset this balance thereby allowing angular, rotational, or compressive compliance. This motion opens a normally closed switch and sends a signal to your motion system's E-stop or controller.

Pneumatic High-Angle Features
- The Pneumatic High-Angle Collision Sensor is a patented mechanical collision sensor that Stops the motion system within 2 to 10ms of a collision to minimize costly damage.
- Offers a full 13º of angular compliance.
- Absorbs the crash energy without releasing the air pressure in the unit thus preventing tooling 'sag' and eliminating the effects of compressed air being released into the environment.
- Automatically resets to within ±0.0005" (0.013mm) in x, y, and z dimensions and to within ±0.17º rotationally to maximize uptime and eliminate the need for human intervention.
- Has a compliance adjustment feature that lets the user determine
the amount of deflection allowed beforeasignal is sent to your robot's E-stop or controller. Pneumatic High-Angle Features PRCS-4619 shown.
