So, for another brand, the ABB FT sensors are designed mainly for assembly operations, but can also be put to work with finishing operations. They can measure the 6 different components of force and torque. The package includes an adapter plate and a communication cable to get the right fit for the robot. The software is also provided to facilitate the integration of the FT sensor with the robotic cell. ABB offers 3 different sensors that are all designed to fit either on the robot flange or to be remotely fixed. So you can buy an ABB robot and add an FT sensor option to fit it perfectly. They provide a short list of sensors that fit on their robots. The advantage of using a ABB sensor on a ABB robot is that the fit is done with more ease than with other brands. The software, hardware and integration is easier than with another random brand. Click here to have more information on their force control options.
