Description

HEX force/torque sensor benefits and features
Designed to fit all leading robot brands, the OnRobot HEX 6-axis force/torque sensor measures force and torque along six axes. This makes HEX ideal for complex grinding, deburring and assembly operations, as it gives precise control over the force applied by the end-of-arm tool. The sensor is especially suited to surface finishing, as it maintains constant speed and force throughout processing. Constant force lets the finishing tool follow the workpiece contours for a flawless result. By adding the OnRobot HEX 6-axis force/torque sensor to your production line, you gain optimisation and productivity benefits without compromising quality.

Information
  • Flexible sensor expands automation to processes that were previously impossible
  • High-precision sensor technology delivers 95% better quality in insertion and assembly tasks
  • Easy programming gets even the most complex polishing tasks running in less than a day

Collaborative gripper takes over the night shift

Donk Industries is one of the largest manufacturers of low-volume aluminium parts in the Benelux countries. To help keep inventory low and deliver a wide range of products to customers on time, an OnRobot RG6 gripper with a HEX sensor automatically tends one of eight CNC machines around the clock. Amid a shortage of skilled labour, this allows employees to move on to more interesting tasks while doubling CNC machine capacity with higher and more consistent product quality.

Results
2x CNC capacity. Reject rate cut by half. Improved product delivery reliability. Automatic CNC machine tending during the night shift. Flexibility for high-mix, low-volume part processing
Gripper fingertips can be changed in minutes
