Measuring Force Sensors Rigid
Sensor cables
With the Nano and Mini sensors, the sensor cables are soldered into the sensor. A
connector is located on the sensor housing of larger sensors to fix the sensor
cable.
The highly-flexible sensor cable protects the sensor signals from electric fields and
mechanical strains.
Interface board
The interface board converts the strain gauge signals into a signal which can be
used by the DAQ card. To ensure optimum measurement results, the amplification
factors are adjusted in line with the sensor used. The sensor and the interface
board therefore form a single unit.

DAQ cards
The DAQ cards available for the sensor are shown in the list below. If you are already using DAQ hardware it could be used in differential or single-ended mode. We recommend differential-ended mode for an optimum, low-noise measurement signal.

The max. transmission rate is dependent upon the overall speed of the computer system.
The analog measurement values issued by the sensor are amplified strains from the strain gauges (DMS) and not forces and moments. The software provided converts the
DMS signals into forces and moments. In order for the signals to be converted, all six DMS signals must be digitized by the DAQ card.
DAQ software
The DAQ F/T software provided contains Windows ActiveX components, a C library
and an example program.
Software features
The automation server ATIDAQFT is a Windows ActiveX component which carries out
the following functions:
Importing the calibration file
Configuring the sensor system
Converting the sensor signals which are read in via the DAQ card into forces and
moments
Supporting tool transformation
The ATIDAQFT server has been developed for use in an ActiveX environment.
The following programs are examples of those supported.
LabVIEWTM, Microsoft Visual BasicTM, Visual Basic for Applications and Visual C++TM
For other operating systems a C library is available with the same range of
functions.
Demo program
The Windows DAQ F/T demo program provides visual and numerical representations of forces and moments. A Windows operating system (Windows 95 or later)
is required. The Visual Basic 6.0 source code is used as an aid for creating additional application programs. A LabVIEW application program is currently being
developed.

MULTIPLEX board
The MULTIPLEX board amplifies the strain gauge signals and issues them in multiplex form. To ensure optimum measurement results, the amplification factors are
adjusted in line with the sensor used. The sensor and the MULTIPLEX board therefore form a single unit. With the Nano and Mini sensors, the MINI MULTIPLEX
board is located in an extra box.
Stand alone controller
The stand alone controller is connected to the sensor or to the MULTIPLEX box. It
converts the multiplex-form DMS signals into forces and moments. Functions such
as tool transformation are implemented in the controller. Communication is carried
out via an RS-232 interface. The force and moment measurement values are
issued in the form of analog strains. Optically decoupled I/Os facilitate simple
integration into the machine control system.

FT
Measuring Force Sensors Rigid
Example
The maximum expected force acting on the sensor is 98 N (10 kg).
This force acts on the sensor at a distance of 25 cm. The moment is therefore
24.5 Nm.
The FT-Delta-SI-330-30 is suitable for this application. (Range of measurement
330 N and 30 Nm). Overload safety is 230 Nm (Mxy).
Notes on robot applications
During a crash, extremely high forces and moments act on the sensor due to the
robots mass inertia and braking deceleration.
To protect the sensor in these situations, we recommend the use of an OPS or OPR
collision and overload protection device.

Product advantages
Wire eroded measuring element made from highstrength, stainless steel
Special overload bolts make the Delta an extremely
robust transducer
Up to 148-fold overload safety with respect to the
range of measurement
Measurement signal resistant to interference
due to use of silicium strain gauges
Silicium strain gauges provide a signal which is 75
times stronger than conventional foil strain gauges.
The silicium strain gauges reduce signal noise to
practically nothing.
Sensor also available in the following
protection classes
IP 60 dust-proof version
IP 65 splash-proof version, suitable for use in damp
environments
