6-axis force/torque sensor offered

ATI Industrial Automation has introduced the Capacitive F/T sensor for industrial robots, pressing force control, grinding, and deburring. It is IP65-rated for protection against dust and water spray, and hard mechanical stops are implemented for overload protection.

The senso’s force range (Fx, Fy, Fz) is 45 lbf., while its torque range (Tx, Ty, Tz) is 35 in.-lb. Output options include an Ethernet conversion box that allows connection to Ethernet networks, USB conversion cables that allow connection to a PC or other devices, and RS-422 serial connection.
