6-AXIS JOINT FORCE SENSOR

End-effector and ankle force/torque feedback

6dFT Motus™ Robot Joint 6-Axis Force Sensor

A core force-feedback component for embodied-intelligence, collaborative and industrial robots, built for fine control at the robot end-effector. It synchronously measures multi-axis forces and moments in the spatial Cartesian frame. Multiple selectable measurement ranges adapt to different task scenarios. Built-in intelligent algorithms keep inter-axis coupling, thermal drift and time drift low, so tuning and maintenance work stays minimal.

Load-centre viewM6F-D045-250 · Derived from Mx / My / FzThe load centre is placed by the textbook relation COPx = −My / Fz, COPy = Mx / Fz, so the simulated trail shows how the contact point drifts as the load changes.
Resultant-force vectorM6F-D045-250 · Fx / Fy / Fz directionA vector combines the three simulated force components into one direction and magnitude.
Six-component decompositionM6F-D045-250 · Fx · Fy · Fz · Mx · My · MzSix bars compare the relative force and moment components at the current instant.
Six-component polar viewM6F-D045-250 · Fx · Fy · Fz · Mx · My · MzA polar trace with motion trails compares the balance of all six simulated components; it does not represent a hardware reading.
Frequency spectrumM6F-D045-250 · Illustrative Fz spectrumA simulated frequency view helps explain how periodic load changes may be inspected.
Six-channel time waveformM6F-D045-250 · Continuous simulated channel historyThe main waveform tracks Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My and Mz together over time.

This dashboard uses slowly changing simulated values. No physical sensor is connected.
