HEX 6-Axis Force/Torque Sensor

Optical six-axis force/torque sensor giving the robot a sense of touch.

The HEX measures force and torque on all six axes, giving precise control over the force a tool applies. Its optical sensing principle is markedly more robust against sudden shocks than strain-gauge alternatives. In surface finishing it holds constant speed and force so the tool follows workpiece contours; in assembly it searches for position, detects parts and stops on collision. Two variants: HEX-E QC and the higher-torque HEX-H QC.

Key Features

  • Six-axis measurement (Fx, Fy, Fz, Tx, Ty, Tz)
  • Optical sensing technology resists sudden shocks
  • 500 % single-axis overload capacity (HEX-E QC)
  • Constant force control for surface finishing
  • Hand guiding and path recording in minutes
