ATI: 6-Axis Force and Torque Sensor (Nano25 IP65/IP68 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:

Key Features and Benefits

Nano25 IP65/IP68 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: IP65 rated for protection against water spray. IP68 (4m) rated for submersion in fresh water to a depth of 4m. EDM wire-cut from high-strength stainless steel. Maximum allowable 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.
