ATI: 6-Axis Force and Torque Sensor (Nano25 Series)

Measure all six components of force and torque in a compact, rugged transducer.

The ATI Multi-Axis Force/Torque Sensor system measures all six components of force and torque. The system consists of a transducer, shielded high-flex cable, and intelligent data acquisition system, Ethernet/DeviceNet interface or F/T controller. Force/Torque sensors are used throughout industry for product testing, robotic assembly, grinding and polishing. In research, our sensors are used in robotic surgery, haptics, rehabilitation, neurology and many others applications. Contact ATI for more information.


What is a Six-Axis Force/Torque Transducer?
A device that measures the outputting forces and torques from all three Cartesian coordinates (x, y, and z). A six-axis force/torque transducer is also known as a multi-axis force/torque transducer, multi-axis load cell, F/T sensor, or six-axis load cell.

The ATI Multi-Axis Force/Torque Sensor system measures all six components of force and torque. It consists of a transducer, interface electronics and cabling.

Transducer
The compact and rugged monolithic transducer uses silicon strain gages to sense forces. The transducer's silicon strain gages provide high noise immunity and allow high overload protection, which is standard on all models.

Built-In Capabilities
The Net F/T, DAQ F/T, Controller F/T, and TWE F/T each provide a variety of powerful functions:

  • Tool transformations translate and/or rotate the F/T reference frame.

  • Demo software allows configuration and basic data logging capabilities.

  • Biasing provides a convenient way to offset tool weight.

  • Increased system throughput is possible by reducing the number of axes of output. (Not applicable to the Net F/T or TWE F/T.)

  • Threshold detection eases integration into industrial applications (Net F/T and Controller F/T only).

  • Integral temperature compensation insures accuracy over a wide temperature range.


Key Features and Benefits

  • Overload protection: The F/T transducer is extremely rugged and durable. All transducer models can withstand high overload.

  • High signal-to-noise ratio: provide a signal 75 times stronger than conventional foil gages. This signal is amplified resulting in near-zero noise distortion.

  • Prompt delivery of standard F/T models.

  • Custom F/T transducers can be designed and built to your specifications.

  • Application assistance by experienced engineers.


Nano25 Series

Product Advantages:

  • One of the Smallest 6-axis Transducers in the World: Slightly larger than the Nano17, the Nano25 offers much higher strength, especially in Fz.

  • Extremely-High Strength: EDM wire-cut from high yield-strength stainless steel. Maximum allowable single-axis overload values are 7.1 to 15.1 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.

  • Industrial Strain Relief Version Available: E-exit version of this transducer is also available and offers resistance to a 10 lb cable pull force.

  • IP65 and IP68 (10m) Versions Available: The IP65 version of the transducer is protected against water spray. The IP68 version is submersible in fresh water to a depth of 10 meters.


Typical Applications

  • Telerobotics

  • Robotic surgery

  • Robotic-hand research

  • Finger-force research
