I wonder besides not destroying the blade, is there even a cartridge that needs replacing after an event? If not, this would even be beyond the Bosch system that was pulled from he US market after their patent dispute with SawStop.
I actually have that with my Subaru Ascent Touring...the rear view mirror has a camera in the back and I use that full time instead of the "mirror" mirror, if you catch my drift. I much prefer the digital image. And when backing up, the regular backup camera is really good including laterally due to wide angle. Let's also say that when I backup to hook up my utility trailer, I put it "on the ball" first try every time. True no-blind spots requires a 360º camera system which is on some vehicles and coming on more down the road.
I don't think that table saws will have rear-view cameras anytime soon, however....

There is a good illustration of the system in the video. Based on what I saw, the answer to your question is no. Nothing gets damaged; nothing needs to be replaced and the "reset time" is measured in seconds.

Griggio had a similar product for a while before they went bankrupt or whatever. I believe they had used Sawstop's sensing technology. Nice to see that hope springs eternal.
Was just thinking that but the Unica Safe system Griggio had didn’t destroy the blade?
I'd argue that if you need hotdog saving tech, you have no business using a tablesaw.
Personally I will never allow any SS type tech in my shop because if one tool of the 100 or so in there has it, all it does is dulls the senses and makes the rest of them more dangerous. Better to just assume they will all bite and treat them all with the same caution.
Peter, I think the challenge for those we might refer to as the "minor players" is the distribution network. That system might work but I still have no idea how someone would actually guy such a machine and if you would, the next challenge is service. You know all this, of course.
A well-know German slider manufacturer is apparently developing their own blade-stopping system. I have videos and still photos if it. It uses a laser, mounted on the overhead guard, to trigger the system. I have no idea how the blade stopping feature works but it's an entirely different triggering mechanism. But, I don't believe it's available yet or any time soon. My Austrian buddies said it was at LIGNA 2019, but a non-functional prototype. When/if, it sees the light of day, same deal as us: Your buy-in is going to start at about $50K.

$50k would buy you an entry level beam saw 🙄
way less at any auction, big stuff takes the hardest hit. You still have loading and buyers premium, price is canadian dollars. I dont pay much attention to big stuff I dont need but enough to see it from time to time, here is a recent one. For those of you in the big leagues whats the new price on this?

Those big things are too pretty to get sawdust on...
