Force sensors help to significantly simplify processes and work steps. Using preset roboter parameters, the force sensor measures and regulates the pressure or force with which the robot arm interacts with its environment.
This makes it possible, for example, to adjust the robot’s applied force and contact behavior during a work process. The robot can adapt its movements based on the surface properties of the object being processed, according to its compliance or damping characteristics.
When processing an object, the robot can move in any direction while maintaining a constant force. This enables processing tasks such as polishing and grinding.
In addition, the teaching effort for the robot is significantly reduced, as position and force data are recorded in real time and can be reused for programming similar tasks. This allows the robot to quickly adapt to new processes without extensive manual re-teaching.
