The function of EPSON force sensors
In the rapidly evolving industry of automation, where every movement is crucial, our robots offer an extra level of advanced technology and reliability.
Imagine a robot that not only operates with impeccable precision, but can also make subtle adjustments based on the slightest changes in its environment.
In precision work, such as assembling delicate parts or matching components with microscopic precision, force sensors are invaluable. EPSON robots can not only detect forces, but also accurately perceive the direction of each movement.
A force sensor can detect the magnitude of the force and direction of rotation for each of the x, y and z axes.
- High sensitivity: Accurately detects the direction of rotation and even the smallest forces in the measuring direction.
- Robust: Remains stable and does not deform, even under pressure.
- Usability: Provides valuable information for robot control.
A human aspect to automatic work
Controlling the robot based on the force information detected allows it to perform actions previously performed based on human touch. The force sensor provides the robot with 'human senses' and is an essential device for automating complex work.
EPSON has installed force sensors in its SCARA robots and six-axis robots, detecting minuscule forces from 0.1 [N] to a maximum compressive force of 250 [N].
Automating work that previously could only be done by humans is an effective measure to solve several problems facing the manufacturing industry, such as labour shortages and technology succession.
