End effectors
Robotiq force-torque sensor
Six-axis force-torque sensor mounted at the wrist to give the robot feedback for insertion, assembly, and finishing tasks that need force control.
The sensor mounts between the robot's wrist flange and the end effector, measuring force and torque along all six axes so the robot program can react to contact forces instead of relying on position alone. This is the basis for tasks like peg-in-hole insertion, screwdriving, and controlled-force polishing.
On Universal Robots and Doosan platforms, the sensor integrates through a dedicated URCap or equivalent plugin that exposes force data directly in the teach pendant programming environment, shortening setup time for force-based routines.
Force control programming takes more tuning than simple position moves, since thresholds and search patterns need to account for part tolerance and the specific assembly task.
