Bota Programs, a pioneer in multi-axis force-torque sensors, has launched the SensONE T80, particularly designed for bigger cobots. That includes ISO-standard flanges on either side, the sensor simplifies integration and ensures superior accuracy even with heavier payloads.
The SensONE T80 is provided with ISO-9409-1-80-6-M8 flanges, immediately matching the mounting flanges on the most recent UR20 and UR30 collaborative robots from Common Robots, eliminating the necessity for an adapter.
This streamlines the work of integrators by eradicating the necessity for added engineering to design adapter mounting gear, considerably decreasing time to market.
The sensor additionally contains an ISO 9409-1-50-4-M6 flange to accommodate third-party units suitable with Common Robots, facilitating the event of recent interfaces.
By eradicating the necessity for an adapter, the general weight of the sensor meeting is minimized, permitting the robotic’s payload capability to be totally utilized for materials dealing with reasonably than merely supporting end-of-arm tooling.
Moreover, eliminating adapters reduces the danger of utilizing inappropriate supplies that would compromise sensor stiffness and have an effect on measurement accuracy.
A robotic force-torque sensor measures power and torque utilized to its floor. Utilizing these real-time measurements in suggestions management permits robots to carry out complicated interplay duties with precision.
Susanne Noerdinger, head of ecosystem success EMEA at Common Robots, says: “This sensor, that includes ISO flanges on either side, is an ideal match for the UR20 and UR30 fashions.
“It supplies a high-precision, direct-fit answer that simplifies integration for our prospects, enabling them to leverage the complete capabilities of our cobots in demanding purposes like heavy palletizing and welding.
“This collaboration with Bota Programs will increase the sensitivity and precision of options with UR, giving our prospects the instruments they should innovate and automate extra successfully.”
Klajd Lika, CEO and co-founder of Bota Programs, says: “The SensONE T80 is especially useful for purposes resembling heavy palletizing and tightening duties (sometimes dealt with by the UR30) and welding (frequent for the UR20).
“Extra purposes embrace large-scale sanding and sharpening, precision mechanical meeting, and face matching/alignment of heavy workpieces, resembling in CNC loader operations.”
The SensONE T80 can deal with as much as 80Nm of torque. Its peak-to-peak noise (measured at six instances the usual deviation) is 0.3N for power measurements and 0.012Nm for torque, reaching the identical precision ranges as sensors used for decrease payload cobots.
Its torque vary helps the complete payload capacities for cobots exceeding 20kg and 30kg together with additionally the expanded payload of 25kg and 35kg that was lately launched for UR20 and UR30 respectively.
Bota Programs will showcase the SensONE T80 on the RoboBusiness Convention & Expo in Santa Clara, CA, on October 16-17, alongside its complete vary of force-torque sensors.
RoboBusiness is the premier occasion for industrial robotics builders, providing an unparalleled platform for the worldwide robotics neighborhood to trade info, share finest practices, and discover new alternatives.
