Force Sensor System

Overview

Force sensors that use strain gauges are essential components in various types of industrial equipment, such as industrial robots. This system detects and calculates the minute output voltages from each strain gauge using an MCU equipped with a high-precision analog front end (AFE). It then converts these signals into 3-axis force and torque data, which are output to the controller.

System Benefits:

  • Precise signal detection and computation enabled by a compact MCU with a high-precision AFE
  • Flexible and simple design supports a wide range of force sensors
  • High-precision sensing supported by a low-noise, high-PSRR (power supply rejection ratio), stable, high-quality power supply
