HEX force/torque sensor

GIVING THE SENSE OF TOUCH TO YOU ROBOT

OnRobot 6-axis force torque sensors provide accurate force and torque measurements along all 6 axes. This gives you precise control when it comes to difficult assembly, polishing, sanding or deburring jobs. Additionally, the HEX software includes path recording, force control and special features for insertion tasks. This means reduced integration time for your production line. 

 Common applications are polishing, sanding, deburring, grinding and assembly, but it can also be used for teach-in and crash detection.

OnRobot HEX force/torque sensor APPLICATIONS

Why the HEX force/torque sensor?

  • EXTENDED AUTOMATION POSSIBILITIES

Enable robots to carry out tasks that require the sensitivity and dexterity of the human hand.

  • SIMPLIFIED ONE SOFTWARE SYSTEM FOR COMPLEX TASKS

Easy deployment, lower number of engineering hours.

  • FASTER AND BETTER QUALITY PRODUCTION

Due to sensing capabilities, it produces better quality faster.

Features of the HEX force/torque sensor

Designed to fit all major robot brands, OnRobot’s HEX 6-axis force/torque sensor offers 6 degrees of force and torque measurement.  This makes the HEX 6-axis force/torque sensor perfect for complex sanding, deburring, or assembly operations, as it gives you precise control over your end-of-arm tooling’s (EoaT) applied force. The sensor is especially ideal for surface finishing tasks, because it ensures a constant speed and force is kept throughout the finishing. The constant force allows the finishing tool to follow the surface contours of the work piece, leading to a flawless result. Therefore, by adding the HEX 6-axis force/torque sensor into your production line, you will gain optimisation and productivity advantages without compromising the quality of your solutions. 

  • UNIQUE OPTICAL BASED TECHNOLOGY

Compared to other technologies the unique OnRobot sensor technology generally much more robust, can resist sudden shocks.

  • EASY TO INSTALL GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE, FAST PROGRAMMING

You can start your application development within an hour.

  • INTEGRATED SOFTWARE

The gripper comes with pre-integrated software that is easy to install and program, so even employees with no technical background can set it up.

  • ADVANCED FORCE CONTROL

Keeps constant speed and force while moving.

  • HIGH ACCURACY

Precise force/torque measurement on 6 axis ( (Fx,Fy,Fz,Tx,Ty,Tz).

  • HIGH ACCURACY

You can record complex paths within minutes.
