Continuum Robot Testing
A continuum robot is a robotic arm that has a continuously curving design, that acts similarly to the trunk of an elephant. It is very maneuverable, and is used for tedious applications such as robotic surgery.

Customer continuum arm undergoing test
The 6A40 6-Axis Standard Capacity Load Cell is installed at the base of the continuum arm.
The BX8-AS BlueDAQ Series Data Acquisition System is connected to the 6A40 6-Axis load cell and the customer’s PC Laptop.
As the continuum robotic arm undergoes a functionality test the load cell measures forces in all axes (Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My, Mz). The BX8-AS displays, logs, and graphs all measurements onto the customer’s computer.
