Force Sensor
Share
We empower FANUC robots to feel! FANUC Force Sensors give your robots a human-like touch by measuring force and torque in six dimensions. This technology enhances your automation by enabling robots to perform tasks previously reserved for master craftsmen. Operating in a closed-loop system, it uses data from wrist-mounted sensors to precisely guide robot movements and maintain consistent force levels. With sensors available in four sizes for 6-axis robots up to 250 kg, our robots can automate complex tasks such as assembly, contouring and polishing across a range of industries. Directly integrated into the robot system, they increase processing speed, improving productivity, quality and cost-effectiveness, particularly for tasks that require precision and finesse.
Key Benefits
Benefits for Your Business
Enhanced Precision and Adaptability
The ability to detect force and torque in six degrees of freedom allows your robot to perform tasks with near-human sensitivity. This precision enables the robots to undertake intricate tasks that require delicate handling and fine adjustments, previously achievable only by skilled craftsmen.
Increased Productivity and Quality
Equipping your robots with our Force Sensors allows you to consistently perform tasks with high precision, reducing the likelihood of errors and the need for rework, thereby improving overall output quality.
Cost Reduction
You can make significant cost savings by reducing reliance on manual labour for specialised tasks, eliminating the need for expensive fixturing, and reducing waste and rework through improved accuracy and consistency in production processes.
Key Features
Features Designed for Your Success
Versatile Sensor Options
FANUC's Force Sensors offer a range of five options, with capacities ranging from 15 to 250 kg, ensuring compatibility with various robot payloads and applications.
Intuitive Predefined Force Functionalities
Benefit from easily accessible predefined force functionalities, including insert, contouring, search, match, and push functions simplifying a range of tasks.
Flexible Usage Modes
The sensor can be utilised in two modes: attached directly to the robot or fixed mounted on a table or jig, offering flexibility in setup and deployment for different automation needs and environments.

Applications
Bring Your Applications to the Next Level
FANUC Force Sensors are specially designed for complex tasks in a wide range of industries.
Assembling
Assemble gearboxes and other mechanical devices using coordinated robots to hold the base unit and phase match cogs and bearings.
Deburring and Grinding
Deburr and grind parts precisely by compensating for dimensional deviations in castings and ensuring the tool remains on the contour despite changes to the effective path.
Fitting and inserting
Fit parts and insert workpieces vertically or horizontally into a chuck or tool holder to very exact tolerances without jamming.
Polishing
Polish metal parts by measuring the force applied and controlling the robot’s motion path in real time to keep the tool pressing with constant force to the part.
