Downloading Important Assets
Updating Your Software
You're not up-to-date? Download the latest version of the Resense F/T Explorer software on GitHub.
Regular updates provide new features, performance improvements, and compatibility enhancements to help you get the most out of your 6-axis force/torque sensor.
Please note that the latest version is not automatically supported by your sensor version.
Supporting Various Interfaces
Resense sensors support USB, UART, and optional EtherCAT connectivity for straightforward integration into research and industrial environments.
We also partner with Olive Robotics to enable seamless ROS 2 integration, providing low-latency data communication and plug-and-play usability for robotic applications.
From prototyping to industrial automation, Resense offers the interfaces needed to connect force sensing directly to your system.
Using Resense F/T Sensors
Each sensor has a nominal measurement range and an overload capacity of approx. 300 %. Beyond this point, irreversible deformation occurs, and the output can no longer be guaranteed within our specifications.
Note: This applies also to transient forces. There is no mechanical protection against overload. Overload events can be checked via the diagnostics of the Mini-Electronics. If you suspect an overload, please contact your sales representative for further steps.
The FPC is a delicate component. To ensure safe senor handling, the FPC must not be strongly pulled in a lateral or the upper direction while the sonsor body is fixed with screws. Otherwise, the load is applied to the base os the FPC, and the wiring on the FPC might snap.
Also, do not mount the product on moving parts that are bent repeatedly.
Resense 6-axis F/T sensors can be easily integrated by using its screwholes at the top and the bottom.
Precautions: Do not fully tighten one screw first. This creates an uneven preload and mechanically distorts the sensing structure. As a result, the sensor may output incorrect force/torque values or even suffer permanent damage.
