Types of Robots Using Interface Sensors

Interface load cells and torque transducers are used for various types of robots to measure and monitor forces and loads experienced by various robot components. Load cells are used to measure the forces exerted by robotic arms and grippers, while torque transducers are used to measure the torque generated by motors. Multi-axis load cells are growing in use with robotic engineers throughout the R&D phases for more measurement data to make smarter decisions in design and use of the robot.

Collaborative Robots Using Interface Sensors

Interface force measurement sensors are often used in collaborative robots to provide feedback on the force being applied during a task. There are several types of force measurement sensors that can be used in cobots, including load cells, torque transducers, miniature load cell load buttons and multi-axis sensors. Cobots are typically equipped with sensors technologies that allow them to detect the presence of humans and react accordingly.
