Hypersen HPS-FT060E
No reviews yet.
Product mass 0.255kg

Hypersen's HPS-FT060E is a high-performance force and torque sensor designed to measure forces and torques on three spatial axes of XYZ. It is equipped with a high-performance processor and 24-bit ADC, ensuring accurate and reliable data collection. The sensor has a high SNR digital output and provides a 2000Hz output data rate, which is suitable for high-speed applications. The device has a high static overload protection and can withstand forces and torques up to 350% of its maximum rated measurement range without damage.

The HPS-FT060E has a low zero drift & cross-axis effect, and low temperature drift, which ensures the accuracy of the sensor over time. It is available with Ethernet, EtherCAT, Analog, and RS-485 communication, making it compatible with a variety of applications. The device is suitable for use in industrial robots, collaborative robots, factory automation, and more.

The sensor has a measuring range of ±600N for the Fxy axis, ±800N for the Fz axis, and ±15Nm for the Mxy and Mz axes. The precision of the device is 0.2N for the Fxy axis, 0.4N for the Fz axis, and 0.002Nm for the Mxy and Mz axes. The device has an overload limit of 350% of its maximum rated measurement range for all axes of force and moment measurement. The HPS-FT060E has a protection class of IP65 and a hysteresis of 0.1% F.S. The non-linearity is less than 1.25%, and creep is less than 2%. The signal noise is 0.03N for the Fxy axis, 0.12N for the Fz axis, and 0.001N for the Mxy and Mz axes. The crosstalk is less than 2% F.S. for all axes of measurement. The sensor weighs 255g and has a size of 877828.5mm.

Spin Robotics SD35
No reviews yet.


SD35 – All-in-one screwdriving solution. Inserts up to 6 screws in less than a minute, even in narrow and hard-to-reach spaces.
The SD35 is a brushless screwdriver system designed for use with collaborative robots for safe, easy-to-use, and consistent screw assembly for screws requiring up to 3.5 Nm of tightening torque. The SD35 has several build-in features.


The SD35 is made for pick & place screwdriving applications. This means that screws are picked up from an automatic screw feeder positioned within the reach of the robot and screwed in at programmed insertion points.


SAFETY SHIELD
The safety shield covers the bit and screw when on the move, thereby protecting the operator from rotating and sharp elements. If the tool unexpectedly runs into an object, a safety sensor stops the robot immediately. The built-in safety sensor is a performance level-d, making safe implementation easy.

EASY ROUTE PROGRAMMING
The supplied teach pen helps the user to set up the exact position of the screw insertion points. When the free-drive button is pressed the tool can be moved to the next position. Use the configurable button to save waypoints, start the screwdriver and more.

AUTOMATIC BIT CHANGE (OPTIONAL)
If you use different types and sizes of screws at the same workstation, we recommend the automatic bit changer that can autonomously switch between different screw bits and is to be used in combination with additional screw feeders.

COUNTER-BORE HOLES AND HARD TO REACH SPACES
Screws can be inserted in counter-bore holes with up to 15 mm depth from the surface.

Robotic Collision Sensor Features:

  • High Repeatability: Following a collision, the use of precise locating components enables the Protector to reset to within 0.001 inches of its original position.

  • Generous Range of Motion: During a crash the Protector can comply large distances in response to any type of crash (angular, axial or torsional) thus allowing the robot controller ample time to take corrective action.

  • Rugged Design for Axial Compliance: The rugged design and construction of the Protector, with generous use of hardened tool steel in contact and wear areas, allows the unit to be used as an Axial Compliance Device for end-effectors. The unit can also provide angular and torsional compliance for certain applications.

  • Energy Absorption: The impact energy generated during a crash is absorbed by a pneumatic chamber. This protects the tooling from being damaged by crashes. After absorption, this energy is redirected to automatically reset the device upon removal from the crash-causing object.

  • Consistent Break-away Response: Break-away response is similar at a given pressure independent of whether the crash is angular, compressive axial, or torsional.

  • Flexible Mounting Surfaces: Threaded and through hole mountings are provided for added flexibility. The simple mounting patterns reduce the stack height of the Protector and tooling assembly.

  • Automatic Reset: After a crash, the Protector will self-reset when the robot removes the tooling from the crash situation. This eliminates the need to enter the robot cell to reset the crash protection device.

  • Optional spring provides two trip points: Air pressure may be used to obtain a higher break-away point during high-inertia motion and the optional preset spring only for a lower break-away point. Inquire about the range of preset springs available for each model.

  • Quick-Response Crash Detection: Nuisance tripping of the signal is avoided with the switch set to actuate at 0.020 inches of axial motion. A 3-Pin M8 Connector and cable are used to pass the crash signal.

  • Field-rebuildable design (with prior customer training and special tools).

  • Field-replaceable connector block assembly.

  • IP 65 environmental protection rating (extra cost option).
