Overview
In various applications, it is essential for a robot arm to possess a sense of touch to perform tasks with precision and adaptability. This can be achieved by integrating a force/torque (F/T) sensor with the robot arm. The F/T sensor allows the robot to dynamically adjust its speed and torque to maintain a specific force relative to the TOOL coordinate system. This capability is crucial for tasks that require delicate handling, precise assembly, or interaction with objects of varying resistance.
DENSO Robotics has incorporated advanced functionality to support F/T sensors from several reputable brands. These include Wacoh-Tech, known for their high-precision sensors; Sintokogio, which offers robust and reliable sensor solutions; Hypersen, recognized for their innovative sensor technology; and ATI Industrial Automation, a leader in the field of force sensing. By leveraging these sensors, DENSO robots can achieve enhanced performance and versatility in a wide range of industrial applications.
