End of Arm Tooling and Torque Force Sensors End of Arm Tooling and Torque Force Sensors
Force torque sensors from SCHUNK capture forces and moments precisely and sensitively through a rigid 6-axis solution. The FT-AXIA version features integrated electronics resulting in simple integration paired with a compact form factor.
The strain gauges (DMS) of the 6-axis force/torque sensors measure the strain applied in all six degrees of freedom (Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My und Mz). The signals of the DMS are evaluated in the sensor and provided.
Advantages – Your benefits

due to space-saving set-up with integrated electronics - Two calibrations are available
whereby two measurement ranges can be controlled via web interface - Plug & Work
directly compatible for KUKA and Universal Robots via software module - Cost saving despite high precision
due to optimized manufacturing - Robust design
ensures due to a high overload range with protection against damage even with short-term overload - Version with LED display
for status display on the sensor without evaluation via the controller
Options and special information
- 6-axis force/torque sensor
Strain gauges (DMS) measure the strain applied in all six degrees of freedom (Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My and Mz). The signals from the DMS are directly processed in the sensor, and are made available as forces and moments via various communication protocols. - Sensor cable
The sensor cable connects the sensor to the control line via an M8 connector or an M12 connector through an 8-pin M12 connector. The voltage supply and communication line are integrated into the sensor cable and shielded. The highly flexible sensor line protects the sensor signals against electrical fields and mechanical loads. - Control line
The control line is a Y-distribution cable and is connected to the sensor line via an M12 socket. It supplies the sensor with voltage via a 3-pin open wire strand and allows separate communication with the sensor via EtherNet or EtherCAT via an RJ-45 connector, depending on the version.
