Internal Force Sensor

Hi, I am reading the internal force sensor output values through the primary client interface data stream. I am not able to get any meaningful values here: all the forces are always 0.0 even when there clearly is a force being applied. How do I make sure that I am properly reading values from the internal force sensor?

Hello ak6,

I am not 100% sure how to help you in the best way on your problem. But I have found a better alternative:

WITTENSTEIN has developed the world’s smallest 6-axis F/T sensors, which are highly relevant for robotics and haptics research.

The product details summarized at a glance:

outer diameters of 8, 12, 21, and 32 mm,
miniaturized 6-channel conditioning electronics (45 x 22 x 5 mm),
a hollow shaft option and
resolution of up to 10 mN.

The new sensors are especially suited for applications in surgical robotics (endowrist tooltip, instrument adapter), humanoid robots and hands as well as micro assembly processes in the electronics and semiconductor industry.

Hey, were you by any chance able to figure out how to get accurate readings of the force sensor? If so, how did you manage to do it?
