Bota Systems MiniONE Pro
4.7/5 (5)
Product mass 0.06kg

The compact and ultra-sensitive 6-axis force torque sensor with a signal noise of only 7mN is an impressive sensing system that has a range of applications in micro-robotics with haptic feedback. The low signal noise of the sensor ensures that the measurements are highly accurate and reliable, making it an ideal sensing system for applications that require precision and fine motor control. It is the smallest force torque sensor with integrated signal processing electronics and a 6 IMU.

MiniONE Pro is mechanically compatible with Mecademic Meca500 or Yaskawa MotoMINI, which are compact and highly precise robotic arms that are often used in micro-robotics applications. The combination of MiniONE Pro with these robotic arms enables telemanipulation, micro-polishing, and micro-assembly in various industries such as watchmaking, jewelry, and semiconductor manufacturing.

The haptic feedback provided by the force torque sensor allows the system or operator to feel the force and torque being applied by the robotic arm, making it easier to manipulate and control the micro-robotic tools. This feature is particularly useful in applications such as micro-polishing and micro-assembly, where the operator needs to have a fine level of control over the tools to achieve the desired results.
