About Mini45 Force/Torque Sensor
Mini45 measures force along three axes and torque around three axes through silicon strain gauges mounted within a 45-millimetre sensor body. The gauges produce a signal roughly 75 times stronger than conventional foil designs, helping the sensor resolve small contact changes while supporting larger working loads.
A central through-hole allows cables, pneumatic lines or tooling services to pass through the robot wrist. Calibration variants cover different force and torque ranges, including standard capacities reaching approximately ±1,160 newtons and ±20 newton-metres for manipulation, testing, teleoperation and force-control applications.
