ATI Industrial Automation has just released the Network Force/Torque (Net F/T) Sensor System. The Net F/T System measures six components of force and torque (Fx, Fy, Fz, Tx, Ty, Tz) and provides an EtherNet/IP™ and CAN bus communication interface, and is compatible with standard Ethernet. The Net F/T system is available with all of ATI's Force/Torque Transducer models.

Product Advantages

• Multiple Interfaces: Ethernet, EtherNet/IP and CAN bus, to support a wide range of automation and research applications.
• LAN Connectivity: The Net F/T can be easily connected to your Local Area Network (LAN) allowing for easy remote operation and monitoring.
• High-speed output: Output rates up to 7000 Hz for six axes of measurement over Ethernet (using UDP).
• Web-based Configuration and Demo: The Net F/T is configurable via a web interface, allowing the user to view and change system settings using a web browser. An easily accessible Java™ demonstration application provides a graphical view of six-axis measurements in real time.
• Other Advantages: Programmable Thresholding, Built-in Status Indicators, Overload Protection, Tool Transformations, Temperature Compensation and High signal-to-noise ratio.

Net F/T System: Net Transducer, Cable and Net Box
