Robotiq Updates FT 300 Sensitivity For High Precision Tasks With Universal Robots
Force Torque Sensor feeds data to Universal Robots force mode
Quebec City, Canada, November 13, 2017 - Robotiq launches a 10 times more sensitive version of its
highly repeatable precision force control tasks such as finishing, product testing, assembly and precise
part insertion.
This force torque sensor comes with an updated free URCap software able to feed data to the
Universal Robots Force Mode. "This new feature allows the user to perform precise force insertion
assembly and many finishing applications where force control with high sensitivity is required" explains
Robotiq CTO Jean-Philippe Jobin*.
The URCap also includes a new calibration routine. "Weve integrated a step-by-step procedure that
guides the user through the process, which takes less than 2 minutes" adds Jobin. "A new dashboard
also provides real-time force and moment readings on all 6 axes. Moreover, pre-built programming
functions are now embedded in the URCap for intuitive programming."

Featured Product
TUV Rheinland Robot Integrator Program
The industry's first comprehensive Robot Integrator Program saves robot integrators significant time and cost investments by allowing them to mark each cell compliant with ANSI/RIA R15.06 with the TUV Rheinland Mark. As opposed to a traditional certification or an on-site field labeling, TÜV Rheinland's Robot Integrator Program certifies the knowledge and skill-set of robot integrators in addition to testing robotic cells and processes against ANSI/RIA R15.06. This reduces the need for frequent onsite or off site testing and allows manufacturers to apply a single TÜV Rheinland label to multiple cells. The Robot Integrator Program individually assesses a robot integrator's understanding of the ANSI/RIA R15.06 standard along with the ability to consistently produce compliant robot cells. Following the requirements and procedures of the new program will enable robot integrators to produce individually compliant robotic cells under one serialized TÜV Rheinland Mark, which meets the national electric code and allows acceptance by Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) and end users.
