Bota Systems has unveiled the SensONE T5, a highly sensitive iteration of its existing SensONE sensor, on March 19th, 2024, in Zurich, Switzerland.
The SensONE T5 boasts an exceptional sensitivity level of 0.05 N / 0.002 Nm, making it three to five times more sensitive than the original SensONE model. This remarkable sensitivity makes the SensONE T5 an ideal choice for use with collaborative robots (cobots) designed to handle payloads of up to 5 kg. It stands out as one of the market’s most compact and lightweight sensors, featuring fully integrated electronics, thus offering unparalleled sensitivity for smaller cobots.
Designed to tackle the most demanding tasks, the SensONE T5 is a 6-axis force torque sensor encapsulated in a compact, dustproof, and water-resistant body. Its design facilitates easy integration with robotic arms without the need for any mounting adapter.
Bota Systems will showcase the SensONE T5, along with their full range of sensors and two live demonstrations, at the Global Industrie exhibition in Paris, France, from March 25th to 28th (Hall 5, Booth 5G169).
Ilias Patsiaouras, the CTO and Co-Founder of Bota Systems AG, remarked on the launch: “The unprecedented sensitivity of this new force torque sensor enables collaborative robots with small payloads to undertake highly sensitive tasks. The SensONE T5 is particularly well-suited for end-of-line quality checks of small components, like electronic buttons, and for precise assembly work requiring meticulous attention, such as fitting electric cables into cabinets.”
With minimal temperature drift and accuracy surpassing 2.0%, combined with a sampling rate of up to 2000 Hz, the SensONE T5 sets a new standard in sensor performance. It is offered with serial USB/RS422 and EtherCAT communication options, ensuring seamless integration with software such as TwinCAT, URcap, ROS, LabVIEW, and MATLAB.
Robotic force torque sensors are crucial for measuring the force and torque applied to a surface, providing essential feedback for real-time control. This enables robots to execute intricate tasks involving human-machine interaction. The SensONE T5, as a complete six-axis force torque sensor, is adept at measuring force and torque across all three axes, marking a significant advancement in robotic sensing technology.
