Multi-Axis Force/Torque Sensor F/T

F / T SENSOR Product Description Product Advantages The Force/Torque (F/T) sensor system measures the full six components of force and torque (Fx, Fy, Fz, Tx, Ty, Tz) using a monolithic instrumented transducer. The F/T transducer uses silicon strain gages for excellent noise immunity. The use of silicon gages allows the F/T transducer to have high stiffness and increased overload protection. All transducer models are available with Net F/T, DAQ F/T or Controller F/T interfaces. Overload protection: The F/T transducer is extremely rugged and durable. The transducer’s factor-of-safety can be...

DAQ F / T SYSTEM Configurations DAQ F/T Systems come in one of two configurations depending on the size of the transducer. Internal Interface Board Configuration: Transducer with internal interface board electronics (Gamma and larger), transducer cable, power supply box, power supply cable, data acquisition board, and user computer. External Interface Board Configuration: Transducer without electronics (Nano and Mini Series), interface power supply box, power supply cable, data acquisition board, and user computer. Components Transducer: The transducer senses applied loading with six...

DAQ Cards DAQ Software Our DAQ F/T System works with DAQ cards we specify or with differentially-ended or single-ended analog inputs on your DAQ hardware; however, differentiallyended inputs are preferred for the best noise immunity. ATI provides DAQ F/T software components that you can use to build your application as well as a sample application program. The software components include an ActiveX server, a C library and a .NET Assembly described below. Note: The DAQ F/T outputs amplified, conditioned strain gage signals to a data acquisition card—not the resolved force and torque data....

NET F / T SYSTEM Net F/T The Network Force/Torque (Net F/T) sensor system measures six components of force and torque (Fx, Fy, Fz, Tx, Ty, Tz). The Net F/T provides an EtherNet/IP™ and CAN bus communication interface and is compatible with standard Ethernet. The Net F/T system is available with all of our transducer models. Product Features • Fully ODVA™-compliant EtherNet/IP interface. • Environmental sealing is available. The Net F/T interface (Net Box) is sealed to IP65 (water splashproof), most Net F/T transducers and cables can be sealed to IP68 (submergibility in fresh water, to a...

CONTROLLER F / T SYSTEM Configurations Internal Mux Board Configuration: Transducer with internal mux board electronics (Gamma and larger, except Omega85), transducer cable, and controller. Mux Board: The mux board electronics connect directly to the transducer’s sensing elements and provide highlevel output signals. Each board is calibrated to work with a specific transducer. The board is mounted in the transducer when possible. When not possible, as in the Nano, Mini, and Omega85 transducers, the board is located in the mux box. External Mux Board Configuration: Transducer without...

SIZING A TRANSDUCER How to Select an F/T Transducer 1. Calculate Expected Moment and Forces Moment capacity is usually the determining factor in choosing the best transducer model for your application. The end-effector attached to the transducer as well as the tasks being performed will generate forces on the transducer, which will result in a moment. The moment is the applied force (dynamic and static together) multiplied by the distance from the transducer origin to the point at which the force is applied. It is important to also consider overload conditions beyond the normal operating...

NANO 17 Ti ( TITANIUM NANO 17 ) Product Advantages Our Smallest 6-axis Sensor Now Available in a Titanium Version: The Nano17Ti fits into restricted spaces of research applications and is non-ferrous. Extremely High Strength: • EDM wire-cut from grade 5 titanium. • Maximum allowable single-axis overload values are 4.9 to 19.6 times rated capacities. High Signal-to-Noise Ratio: Silicon strain gages provide a signal 75 times stronger than conventional foil gages. This signal is amplified, resulting in near-zero noise distortion. The Nano17 T i F/T transducer The transducer is made of grade 5...
