4.2.1.1 KS-2 safety-off mechanism
The KS-2 safety mechanism is a spring supported devise that protects the robot and the
torch system in case of a collision.
4.2.1.2 FL-1 intermediate flange
The rigid intermediate flange FL-1 can be used instead of the KS-2 if the robot has an
electronic collision detection system.
4.2.2 Torch mounts for hollow wrist system
In the hollow wrist system the Aristo RT welding torches are connected via a quick change
system to the torch mount.
The torch mount KSC-2 allows for elastic deflection of the torch in case of a collision. At the
same time, an electrical contact is opened, signalling the robot control to stop. After resetting
the error, the initial geometry and Tool Center Point (TCP) of the torch will be reached with
high precision. The system functions purely mechanically and is spring loaded.
The torch mount FLC-2 has no built-in safety-off function. It is a rigid mount that is connected
to the electronic collision detection system in the robot.
