TBi Robotic Shock Sensor (Safety of Mechanism Switch) KSC-2G/W – Hollow Axis | 536P101403

Product Description: Code 536P101403 TBi KSC-2G/W Safety Off Mechanism (Shock Sensor), where the cable bundle passes through the robot's 6th axis. Hollow Wrist It is a high-precision safety device specifically designed for robots; it instantly stops the robot upon collision, preventing thousands of dollars worth of axis damage.

⚠️ Engineering Detail: Why a “Hollow” Design?
In new generation welding robots (such as Fanuc iC, ABB ID, Yaskawa MA series), cables do not hang externally but pass through the inside of the arm. Standard shock sensors are enclosed, making them incompatible with these robots.
KSC-2G/W, Thanks to the large gap in the center, it allows the cable assembly to pass through while also ensuring the TBi's precise collision protection.

• Switch Mechanism: When the torch encounters an obstacle, the sensor body flexes (deflection). This flexing activates the internal micro-switch circuit and sends an "Emergency Stop" signal to the robot controller.

• Hybrid Cooling Compatibility (G/W): This unit offers a universal platform for connecting both air-cooled (G) and water-cooled (W) torch necks. You do not need to change the sensor even if you change the cooling type.

• Axis Protection: By absorbing the collision energy through its own springs, it prevents the impact from being transmitted to the robot's precision gears (gearbox).

Technical Advantages:

• High Repeatability: The torch is released after the collision. However, when the robot retracts, the sensor springs reactivate the torch. ±0.05mm It precisely restores the old TCP (Tool Center Point) point. No reprogramming is required.

• Adjustable Sensitivity: Depending on the robot's operating speed and the load it carries, the trigger force with which the sensor activates can be adjusted.

• Compact Design: Hollow robots are compact and lightweight enough not to restrict the agility of robots working in confined spaces.

Compatibility: This product is from brands such as Fanuc, ABB, Kuka, Yaskawa, and Panasonic. Hollow Wrist (Internal Wiring) This is for TBi RM2 series torch systems compatible with these models.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Is this sensor air-cooled or water-cooled?
The sensor itself does not provide cooling, but it is compatible with both systems (G/W stands for Gas/Water). The torch neck and flange kit you attach to it determine the cooling type.

2. Is part replacement necessary after the collision?
No. The product operates using a spring-loaded "clutch" mechanism. Once the collision is over, it automatically locks itself back into its original position (auto-reset). The shear pin should only be checked in very severe accidents (such as the robot hitting a wall at full speed).

3. Can I attach this to my standard (externally routed cables) robot?
No. TBI is for standard robots. KS-2 The (Closed Type) model is suitable. This product (KSC-2) is only for robots with internally routed cables.
