The Axia80 is programmed with two different calibrations that the operator can switch between while the application is running. The monolithic instrumented transducer also features silicon strain gauges that reduce noise, enable high stiffness, and provide overload protection five to twenty times over the sensing range. Like all of ATI’s Force/Torque Sensors, the Axia80 measures all six components of force and torque. In order for those robots to be completely successful, they need force sensing feedback."ĪTI has unveiled the newest offering in their Force/Torque Sensor product line: the Axia80. "In order to for them do that, they need robots. "There's been a movement in the industry to start automating man-made products," explains Robert Little, CEO of ATI Industrial Automation. Original Press Release: ATI Develops New Low-Cost Force/Torque SensorĪxia80 Provides High Resolution with Outstanding Overload Protection

Suitable for robotic assembly, grinding, and polishing applications, sensor communicates through EtherCAT or Ethernet. Unit’s silicon strain gauges provide overload protection and enable high stiffness. Capable of measuring all six components of force and torque, sensor can be directly connected with robot controller. The Tool-side of the changer mounts to tooling, such as grippers, welders, or deburring tools.Axia80 Force/Torque Sensors are programmed with two different calibrations. The Master-side of the changer mounts to a robot, CNC machine, or other structure. The Manual Tool Changer provides flexibility for any automated process in order to change tools and pass various utilities.

Additional mounting flats for adding ATI utility modules.Īn end-effector with two mating parts, a Master-side and a Tool-side, that have been designed to manually lock or couple together, carry a payload, and have the ability to pass utilities such as electrical signals, pneumatic, water, etc.Ratchet knob adds security to the locked position.Fully threaded all-steel locking mechanism.These robust and compact Manual Tool Changers can handle payloads up to 80 pounds (36 kg) and pass pneumatics and electrical signals.

They feature a unique design that combines high strength, excellent repeatability, and a patent-pending screw-cam locking mechanism with multiple fail-safe features, which resists vibration and prevents loosening. ATI Develops Improved Series of Manual Tool ChangersĪTI Industrial Automation has developed a series of Manual Tool Changers that provides a cost-effective solution for quickly changing tools by hand.
