Force and torque sensors

If you need precise results, intelligent force/torque sensors are all the trend. They give robots the required sensitivity. The sensors precisely detect the occurring process forces and transmit them to the control unit. This allows for highly precise correction of the robot path. The result are constant forces, and hence constant machining patterns.

SCHUNK's 6–axis force/torque sensor, FTNet, is a real all–rounder. With its high-speed data output, four possible communication protocols, remote monitoring via LAN and configuration via web interface, it is currently the most multi–functional force/torque sensor for industrial automation.
