Collimator jaws for SuperKEKB main ring, which is an electron-positron collider, installed to suppress background noise in a particle detector complex named Belle II. The collimators are successful to reduce backgrounds when the collimator was closed. But, in high current operations with 500 mA or more, jaws were occasionally damaged by hitting abnormal beams. This trouble is a low-frequency, which is once-a-commissioning period currently, but a high-consequence one because we are not able to apply high voltage on…
