Axia80-M50

Axia80-M50 is ATI Industrial Automation's six-axis force-and-torque transducer for installation at a robot wrist or within an automation system. The sensor resolves three orthogonal forces and three moments through its internal electronics and supplies calibrated measurements to the controller. ATI offers Ethernet, EtherCAT, RS-485 and robot-specific interface arrangements across the Axia80 platform, allowing the communication option to be selected for the host control architecture.

The M50's primary calibration is rated to 1,200 newtons on the X and Y axes, 2,000 newtons on Z and 50 newton-metres of torque. A secondary calibration provides lower ranges of 480 newtons, 800 newtons and 20 newton-metres. Single-axis overload limits are substantially higher, including 6,000 newtons laterally and 10,000 newtons axially. With standard interface plates, the unit is 82 millimetres in diameter, 25.4 millimetres high and weighs 0.68 kilograms. Mounting stiffness, calibration selection and overload exposure affect system-level measurement quality.
