The Quick Attachment System (QAS)


Manly Innovations offers an exclusive Quick Attachment System (QAS), featuring a tool-free precision alignment and engagement mechanism that boasts limitless scalability in terms of size and shape. This innovative design aims to reduce the quantity of parts and components needed for assembling systems or subsystems, particularly in situations where modularity is advantageous. The QAS stands as the most streamlined quick attachment system available in the current market.

 

The QAS offers the capability to establish an exceptionally strong connection with high shear and pull strength rates, requiring a straightforward push to engage and a similarly uncomplicated push-button for disengagement. If automated disengagement is desired, a simple solenoid could be incorporated for this purpose.

Simplicity in Design 


The patented simplicity and durability of the QAS are attributed to its minimal part count. Aside from the QAS's body and cover plate, it consists of a core plug, a slide plate, vertical and lateral compression springs, and an interfacing tang (bolt) or tang (bolt) plate. 

 

One variation (depicted on the left) of the QAS is tailored for versatile modularization and t-slot framing applications. It features a straightforward through-hole mounting, making it compatible with M5 or 10-32 hardware for secure attachment in any application. 

 

 

Transfer Of Energy (TOE)


We are proud to introduce our groundbreaking Transfer Of Energy (TOE) technology, seamlessly merging power, data, and fluidics into the QAS system. This pioneering innovation not only enhances the QAS's performance but also offers a sleek and streamlined design, effectively eliminating the inconveniences associated with wire and hose entanglements.

 

This achievement is made possible through our latest patent-pending technology, which integrates power, data, and fluidics via the core plug and interfacing bolt. This ingenious design upholds the structural integrity of the QAS while empowering systems to conceal cables and hoses, resulting in a clean, streamlined appearance and improved safety by minimizing the risk of snags. 

 

The QAS with TOE offers unmatched versatility for various industries, including Aerospace, Industrial, Robotics, After-Market Automotive, and any situation where you need to connect and disconnect parts or where there is a need for modularity, or improved modularity.
