Mount these sensors between a robot arm and a tool for precise control during delicate tasks, such as sanding or assembling small parts. They constantly measure the force and torque your tool is applying to a workpiece, mimicking your sense of touch. As they measure the force and torque in six axes (three for force and three for torque), they send the data to your robot controller, which uses it to judge the tool's position and adjust the arm's movements. The constant communication between the sensor and controller helps you automate tasks that would normally require a person.

These sensors are UR+ Certified, which means they work seamlessly with Universal Robots (UR) systems. They have an ISO 50 mounting pattern to connect to most tools without an adapter. These sensors are more sensitive and accurate than built-in UR sensors, since they have an accuracy of ±2%. Switch between calibration settings for small and large loads for the most accurate measurements for the force in your application.

Install the data-recording software onto your teach pendant to integrate these sensors with your robot. The software helps you program, record, and control the forces of your assembly. LED status indicators show you whether the sensors are working, so you don't need to check your controller. They also have silicon strain gauges, which send a strong signal to your controller with very little distortion. Rated IP64, these sensors are dust-tight and protected from water splashing in all directions.

Safely view your tension force measurements on a handheld receiver up to 450 ft. away when moving bulk material with cranes and hoists. These gauges are also called dynamometers and crane scales. Made of steel, they’re durable enough to briefly hold heavy loads up to 500% of their capacity. But, they will no longer take measurements if the load exceeds 200%. Warning lights will flash first when your load exceeds capacity, then again when it reaches 133% capacity. To prevent overloads, the peak-hold setting displays the highest measurement. The tare function lets you reset the gauge to zero after attaching a container to weigh only the material inside. These gauges include a calibration certificate traceable to NIST that states they’ve passed a test for accuracy. They also meet IEC and ASME safety and fatigue standards.

Because their indicators and load cells are IP rated, these gauges stand up to washdowns and brief submersion common to food and chemical plants. They’re also safe to use outdoors since they’re NEMA rated to seal out weather.

These gauges come with two shackles that work with other lifting fittings, such as clevis hooks. The included batteries power their load cells for up to 2,000 hours.

Gauges with a heat shield disc and jacket hold up in foundries and other hot environments because their load cells take longer to reach the maximum temperature than other gauges. An internal thermometer tells you the load cell temperature on the receiver.

Use the included Windows-compatible software to upload measurement data. These gauges come with a calibration certificate traceable to NIST that states they've passed a test for accuracy. All have a threaded male shaft for connecting additional attachments. The tare function lets you reset the scale to zero. Activate the peak-hold setting to retain the highest reading on the display. Gauges cannot be sold to Canada due to local energy efficiency requirements.

Measure tension force as well as weight. These gauges come with a calibration certificate traceable to NIST that states they've passed a test for accuracy. All are NEMA 4X rated for protection from dust, water, and mild corrosives. They can be manually reset to zero and have a peak-hold setting that retains the highest reading on the display when activated. Also known as dynamometers.

A chuck-style grip with a round opening gets a secure hold on pins. Attach to the shaft of your gauge.

These attachments are good for gripping most shapes and materials. They attach to the shaft of your gauge.

Attachment for 1/8" max. width has a lever to open the jaws, which close automatically.

Attachment for 3/8" max. width has jaws that tighten separately around the material.

Attach to the shaft of your gauge to grip paper, film, and thin plastic.
