FT Force/Torque Sensor

The FT Force/Torque Sensor is a 6-axis force/torque sensing device that provides real-time force feedback for robotic applications requiring precise force control and delicate contact handling. Mounted between the robot arm and end-effector, the FT Sensor measures forces in three axes (Fx, Fy, Fz) and torques in three axes (Tx, Ty, Tz) simultaneously, giving robots a complete sense of touch for sensitive operations. With 1000 Hz sampling rate and 16-bit resolution, the sensor delivers real-time force data at high precision, enabling force-controlled assembly, polishing, and contact-based tasks with sub-Newton sensitivity. Force ranges from ±500 N to ±10,000 N and torque ranges from ±20 Nm to ±1000 Nm accommodate diverse applications from delicate electronics assembly to heavy-duty robotic machining. The sensor enables precision assembly tasks including force-controlled insertion, joining, and snap-fit assembly, while also providing collision detection for safe robot operation in shared workspaces. With Ethernet, EtherCAT, CAN, and RS-485 communication, the FT Sensor integrates with all major robot controllers including Universal Robots, FANUC, ABB, KUKA, and Yaskawa. For manufacturers seeking to add tactile intelligence to robotic operations, the FT Sensor is an essential peripheral for force-sensitive applications.
