FANUC Force Sensor Overview
The FANUC Force Sensor is a six-axis sensor that measures the forces and moments acting on the robot wrist. It lets the robot move compliantly in response to external force, which enables precise fitting of parts with clearances of a few micrometres, gear phase matching, polishing, deburring and weighing on the fly. The range covers five sizes, from the FS-15iAe and FS-15iA for LR Mate, M-10 and collaborative robots up to the FS-250iA for the R-2000 series. All models are IP67 protected and withstand ten times their rated load.
