Robotiq launches new force torque sensor for Universal Robots
Robotiq is launching its Force Torque Sensor FT300, saying it brings a sense of touch to robots. With plug-and-play integration on all Universal Robots, the FT300 makes automation of high-precision tasks such as product testing, assembly and precise part insertion easy and fast to setup.
The new Force Torque Sensor FT 300 is specially designed for Universal Robots in terms of its coupling, integration and programming, opening up a new range of force-sensitive applications that are now fast and easy to automate thanks to the new all-in-one packages, which include all the necessary components from hardware to software.
Samuel Bouchard, CEO of Robotiq explains: "We strongly value our customers' opinions and knowledge; and we want to use this to provide positive solutions for the successful automation of their project. We strive to make our products user-friendly and fast to integrate in any kind of industrial application, so that our customers can concentrate on their business. That is what the FT 300 is all about."
In order to make the automation of complex tasks as easy as possible, the FT 300 comes with all the necessary mechanical parts, including easily attachable USB wiring, plus software templates to operate the Sensor. Also because the Sensor is digital it does not require an external signal processing box. This means customers will hit the ground running and save on downtime.
This new product is now available through Robotiq's global partners. These high-tech distributors can quickly integrate and train local customers to program the Force Torque Sensor on Universal Robots using the plug and play kit provided by Robotiq.
