Refining Robotic Gripper Performance
High-resolution sensors are needed for greater precision and responsiveness in the design, testing, and monitoring of grippers used in robotics and industrial automation. Force sensing is essential for safe human interaction and for handling fragile tasks. Grippers in humanoids, collaborative robots, and robotic arm integrations that require compact, high-accuracy measurements use Interface load cells, mini load buttons, and multi-axis sensors.

Adopting Sensor Technology for Prosthetic Advancements
Interface load cells and multi-axis sensors are utilized in the development, design, and testing of modern prosthetics, resulting in a more natural and intuitive user experience. By accurately measuring weight, forces, and torque, these sensors provide essential real-time feedback to help in design, customization, durability testing, material tests and analysis. Miniature load cells in a prosthetic hand design test can detect the amount of force being applied, preventing objects from slipping or being crushed. Prosthetic limbs must be tested for extreme loading that can occur during falls, accidents, and sports movements.
