THE FACTORY AUTOMATION COMPANY Force Sensor Tactile intelligence Assembling Contouring Measuring

Automated craftsmanship for assembly, contouring and measuring applications FANUC’s range of force sensors opens up a whole new realm of possibilities for intelligent auto ation solutions. That’s because force sensors equip robots with an almost human-like sense m of touch, enabling them to detect force and torque applied to the end effecter in 6 degrees of freedom. With craftsman-like precision, robots fitted with this technology can perform assembly, contouring and measuring tasks across a vast number of industries. Four different sensor sizes are suitable for 6-axis robots to support...

Discover a large range of precision applications Deburr and grind parts precisely by compensating for dimensional deviations in castings and ensuring the tool remains on the contour despite changes to the effective path. Polish metal parts by measuring the force applied and controlling the robot’s motion path in real time to keep the tool pressing with constant force to the part. Assemble gearboxes and other mechanical devices using coordinated robots to hold the base unit and phase match cogs and bearings. Fit parts and insert workpieces vertically or horizontally into a chuck or tool...

This enables the robot to push with constant force in one direction. After it reaches a predefined “Contact Force Threshold”, the robot starts to push with “Pushing Force” for a specified time. Intelligent features for better performance x On assembly and contouring operations, this provides the robot with the ability to align and match the faces of components or workpieces. Hole Search Enables the robot to search for a hole by moving the shaft or object to be inserted at right angles to the hole. This can then be followed by an insertion. Shaft insert Allows loose fitting by aligning the...

Fixture Mount Force Sensor Force sensor Ideally suited to precise fitting, phase matching and contouring operations, this allows the force sensor to be mounted on a table. Table mounting the sensor also reduces the weight of the end effector and enables the robot to carry different tools. Combining features for more versatility Force control commands are connected on a master/slave basis for easy execution TP Program Auto Generation Force sensor On processes requiring accurate contoured edges, this feature records the path of the workpiece and automatically generates a TP program.

Complete quality control Execution History Screen Technical overview grid DOF Rated load Static overload tolerance Resolution Accuracy [%] To provide a complete overview of your processes, the Execution History Screen displays both key and detailed data on different screens. Parameters such as insertion depth, duration of insertion and force applied can all be checked and recorded. FS-15iA Data Viewer In order to provide a process archive and make adjusting and fine tuning Force Control easy, this function logs force sensor data and allows you to output it graphically. FS-40iA Force Control...
