OVERVIEW

ESAB KSC-2W Safety Off Mechanism (0700300431)

The ESAB Safety Off Mechanism, model KSC-2W (part number 0700300431), is a critical component designed for mechanized cutting applications. Serving as a collision protection interface between the machine lifter and the cutting torch, this device ensures operational safety and equipment longevity. In the event of a torch collision with a tipped part or obstacle on the cutting table, the KSC-2W mechanism disengages or triggers a sensor to immediately halt the machine's motion axes.

Engineered to meet ESAB's precise specifications, this OEM part maintains the alignment and stability required for high-quality cutting while providing a fail-safe against mechanical damage. It is compatible with specific ESAB torch suspension systems used in plasma and oxy-fuel cutting gantries. The robust design withstands the harsh environment of industrial metal cutting, including exposure to heat, dust, and vibration.

Replacing a worn or damaged safety mechanism is essential for maintaining the protective functionality of your automated system. Failure to utilize a functioning collision sensor can lead to catastrophic torch failure, bent lifters, and extended machine downtime. This unit is supplied as a complete assembly ready for installation into the compatible torch station.

FAQ

The KSC-2W serves as a collision safety device that detects if the cutting torch hits an obstacle and stops the machine to prevent damage.

Yes, this is the genuine OEM ESAB Safety Off Mechanism, part number 0700300431.

It is generally designed for mechanized torch stations; compatibility depends on the specific lifter model, but it is used in both plasma and oxy-fuel configurations on ESAB tables.

If the unit fails to trigger a stop during a collision, is physically broken, or has excessive play that affects cut quality, it should be replaced.

No, this is only the safety/mounting mechanism. The torch and consumables are sold separately.

The machine's CNC controller receives a signal to immediately stop axis movement, preventing the torch from being crushed or bent.

It is designed as a direct replacement component for the specific torch station, usually involving bolt-on mounting and connecting the sensor cable.

It is mounted on the machine lifter (Z-axis), holding the torch assembly.
