Desk Sensor 1 – new Anti-Collision™ solution from LINAK

LINAK launches a new sensitive Anti-Collision solution for sit-stand office desks, called Desk Sensor™ 1 (DS1). Thanks to gyroscopic technology, the tiny plug-in unit reacts on both soft and hard obstacles.

It is smaller than your normal USB Key – about the size of your ballpoint pen lid. It is the brand new LINAK Anti-Collision™ solution called Desk Sensor™ 1 (DS1). It integrates with almost any LINAK system for desks and is designed for Plug & Play™, making the small unit easy to add to your LINAK desk system.

Intelligent gyroscopic unit senses soft and hard obstacles

The cornerstone of this new and intelligent way of providing desk protection is a sensitive gyroscope unit inside the DS1. It enables the small and compact plug-in adapter (DS1) to detect even little tilting of the desk’s tabletop – regardless if the desk is driving up or down. When detecting even a tiny tilt, movement stops and drives in the opposite direction to avoid collision and damage to the desk or the colliding object.

Another advantage of new Desk Sensor 1 Anti-Collision solution is that it both detects hard and soft obstacles. Whether your desk drives into a coffee cup placed on a pedestal below your desk or encounters a padded office chair, the desk will instantly detect this and react by stopping the desk and reverse the direction.

Plug & Play™ - just plug the DS1 unit into your desk

Including the DS1 Anti-Collision™ unit in your LINAK office desk system is easy. For standard systems with a control box CBD6S, you just plug the unit into the control box, and your desk has Anti-Collision installed.

For systems using DL IC (integrated controller) lifting columns, the DS1 can be integrated using a T-Splitter and a serial cable.

Works with existing Anti-Collision solutions – and without

Optionally, Desk Sensor 1 can be combined with the well-known PIEZO™ Anti-Collision™ technology, ensuring an even higher level of Anti-Collision.
