F / T SENSOR
Product Description
Product Advantages
The Force/Torque (F/T) sensor system measures the

full six components of force and torque (Fx, Fy, Fz, Tx,
Ty, Tz) using a monolithic instrumented transducer. The
F/T transducer uses silicon strain gauges for excellent
noise immunity. The use of silicon gauges allows the F/T
transducer to have high stiffness and increased overload
protection. All transducer models are available with either
DAQ F/T or Controller F/T interfaces.
The DAQ F/T allows the transducer to connect to an
analog Data Acquisition (DAQ) card (PCI, USB, PCMCIA,
etc.) making it easy to read sensor data with your PC or
robot controller. The F/T strain gauge signals are
conditioned and transmitted to the DAQ card. Next, the
ATI DAQ software works with your computer to convert
strain gauge data into force/torque data. The DAQ F/T
consists of a transducer, an interface board, a power
supply board, a DAQ card, software and long-life flexible
cables designed to shield against outside electrical noise.
The Controller F/T processes the F/T strain gauge
information and outputs serial and analog force/torque
data. Controller functions provide tool transformations,
peak capture, biasing and discrete I/O.
Overload protection: The F/T transducer is extremely

rugged and durable. The transducers factor-of-safety can
be as high as 2700%, depending on model and calibration.
High signal-to-noise ratio: Silicon gages provide a signal
75 times stronger than conventional foil gages. This
signal is amplified resulting in near-zero noise distortion.
High-speed output: F/T systems are available with
update rates as high as 28.5kHz. This speed exceeds
requirements of most robotic and data collection
applications.
Software Tool Transformations: Tool transformations
can translate and rotate the F/T reference frame.
Versatile Outputs: PCI, Analog, USB, PCMCIA,
Discrete I/O, Compact PCI, and more are available.
Temperature Compensation: Each F/T transducer
features hardware temperature compensation to stabilize
its sensitivity over temperature. This compensation method
optimizes the transducers accuracy over a range
approximately 25 C from room temperature.
ATIs products and knowledgeable staff were

instrumental in allowing us to rapidly prototype our
latest surgical robotic platform. Because of their offthe-shelf solutions for miniature force and torque
sensing, we were able to go from concept to working
prototype in months instead of years.

When Lear Corporation partnered with KUKA Robotics to

develop the OccubotVI seat testing system, we envisioned a
robot that allowed for simultaneous load and position
control. The critical component to achieving true load
control was a sensor that could interface in real time with the
robot kernel and receive commands directly while
maintaining full robustness and accuracy necessary to
duplicate exact human loading with sufficient repeatability.
ATI Industrial Automation was the only choice, not just for
the Theta transducer, which handily met all our demands,
but primarily because of the excellent support from their
technical and sales staff. Their partnership in the project was
a key factor in its success.

DAQ F / T SYSTEM
Configurations
DAQ F/T Systems come in one of two configurations
depending on the size of the transducer.
Internal Interface Board Configuration: Transducer
with internal interface board electronics (Gamma and
larger), transducer cable, power supply box, power
supply cable, data acquisition board, and user computer.
Power Supply: The power supply converts readily

available 5 volt (275mA) power from the PC through
the DAQ card connection to regulated power used by
the transducer. The power supply is mounted in a small
box that connects to the transducer cable on one end
and to the data acquisition card on the other. When not
mounted on the transducer, the interface board is
mated directly to the power supply.
External Interface Board Configuration: Transducer

without electronics (Nano and Mini), interface power
supply box, power supply cable, data acquisition board,
and user computer.
Power Supply Cable: The power supply cable conducts

5 volt power to the power supply box or interface power
supply box and transmits the transducer signals to the
data acquisition card. The cable is a flexible long-life
design with special noise immunity features.
Components
Transducer: The transducer senses applied loading with
six degrees of freedom (Fx, Fy, Fz, Tx, Ty, and Tz). Gamma
and larger transducer models have the interface board
inside the transducer while Nano and Mini transducer
models require the interface board to be housed in an
interface power supply box (IFPS). Output is uncalibrated.
ATI software must be used to produce calibrated ouput.
Data Acquisition (DAQ) Card: The data acquisition

card plugs into your PC, receives the analog transducer
signals via the power supply cable and (with ATI software
on your computer) converts them into data to be used
by computer programs. Our data acquisition cards are
available in a wide variety of configurations and supply
power to the F/T system. In some cases, you can use
an existing data acquisition system.
Transducer Cable: For our Nano and Mini transducer

models, the transducer cable is integral to the transducer.
For other transducers the transducer cable is attached
with a connector. The transducer cable is a long-life
flexible cable specially designed for noise immunity.
This durable cable protects the transducer signals from
electrical fields and mechanical stress.
DAQ Multiple Transducer IFPS Box (optional): This

multiple transducer version of our standard Interface
Power Supply Box provides power for the tranducers
as well as grouping all of the transducer outputs on
connectors that are easily connected to DAQ cards
which can support multiple transducers. The box is a
standard 19" rack-mount enclosure.
Interface Board: The interface board electronics receive

transducer gauge signals and convert them to readable
DAQ card signals using noise immunity technology.
Each interface board is calibrated to mate to a specific
transducer. The interface board is mounted within the
Gamma and larger transducer models and is located in
the interface power supply box (IFPS) for the Nano and
Mini transducer models. Since transducer output is
uncalibrated, ATI software must be used to produce
calibrated output.
DAQ FT Dual Gain (optional): A transducer may have

two calibrations which allows switching between higherresolution calibration and a larger-range calibration. The
larger-range calibration must be exactly twice the higherresolution calibration. Switching calibrations is as easy
as just loading the other calibration.
Note:
ATI DAQ systems perform best when used with the cabling and
data acquisition hardware we supply. The demanding nature of
precision analog signals makes it likely that other configurations
will not perform optimally. The use of breakout boxes, unshielded
cables and wires that are not twisted pair is discouraged as
their use will result in increased noise.
DAQ Cards
DAQ Software
Our DAQ F/T System works with DAQ cards we

specify or with differentially-ended or single-ended
analog inputs on your DAQ hardware; however,
differentially-ended inputs are preferred for the best
noise immunity.
ATI provides DAQ F/T software components that you

can use to build your application as well as a sample
application program. The software components include
an Automation Server and C library described below.
Note:
The DAQ F/T outputs amplified, conditioned strain gauge signals
to a data acquisition cardnot the resolved force and torque
data. ATI software (included) running on the host computer
performs computations to convert the strain gauge voltage data
into force/torque data. You must acquire all six strain gauge
channels in order to calculate any of the forces and torques.
Software Component Features

The Automation Server ATIDAQFT is a Windows
ActiveX component that performs the core operations
of the DAQ F/T system, including:
loading calibration files
configuring the transducer system
converting transducer signals from any data
acquisition system into forces and torques
performing tool transformations
ATIDAQFT can be used in development platforms that
support ActiveX or Automation containment, including:
LabVIEW, Microsoft Visual Basic, Visual Basic for
Applications, and Visual C++. For non-Windows
operating systems, ATI also provides a C library with
the same features.
ATI Supports the Following Bus-Types:

PCI
CPCI
PCMCIA
USB
Contact ATI regarding other bus-types. Most bus-types
are available in 16-bit resolution.
Note:
Most laptop computers and PCMCIA peripherals do not have
provisions for proper signal grounding. External grounding may
be necessary to reduce some of the resulting additional noise.
Application Program
The Windows DAQ F/T application program displays
graphical and numerical force and torque output for
Win95 and later Windows operating systems. Visual
Basic 6.0 source code is provided as an aid in creating
additional application programs. This program only
works with NI DAQ boards.

CONTROLLER F / T SYSTEM
Configurations
The Controller F/T system comes in one of two
configurations depending on the size of the transducer.
Internal Mux Board Configuration: Transducer with
internal mux board electronics (Gamma and larger),
transducer cable, and controller.
External Mux Board Configuration: Transducer without
electronics (Nano and Mini), mux box, mux cable, and
controller.
Components
Transducer: The transducer senses forces and torques
applied in six degrees of freedom (Fx, Fy, Fz, Tx, Ty,
and Tz). Gamma and larger models have on-board
electronics (known as the mux board) while Nano and
Mini models require these electronics to be in a
separate housing (known as the mux box).
Transducer Cable: For our smaller transducers (Nano
and Mini series) the transducer cable is integral to the
transducer. For other transducers, the cable is attached
to the transducer with a connector. This durable, longlife, flexible cable protects the transducer signals from
electrical fields and can withstand mechanical stress.
Mux Cable: Systems with a mux box will also require a

mux cable. The mux cable is a highly flexible long-life
cable. This durable cable protects the transducers signals
from electrical fields and mechanical stress.
Controller: The controller interfaces with the transducer
to process the transducer data into usable force and
torque data and to provide high-level functions like tooltransformations and threshold detection. The controller
is powered by standard AC power. This intelligent
controller communicates over an RS-232 serial port and
can also output loads via analog voltages. Its optically
isolated discrete I/O port connects easily into many
industrial applications to respond to user-programmed
threshold conditions.
EuroCard Controller: This small card provides all the
functions of our regular Controller in a small package,
ideal for integration into systems where space is limited.
All signals to and from the card are available on the
industry standard 96-pin connector that uses a custom
signal assignment. To use this card, it must be plugged
into a mating connector that provides regulated DC
voltages and connections to an ATI mux transducer.
Mux Board: The mux board electronics connect directly

to the transducers sensing elements and provide highlevel output signals. Each board is calibrated to work
with a specific transducer. The board is mounted in the
transducer when possible. When not possible, as in the
Nano and Mini transducers, the board is located in the
mux box.

How to Select an F/T Transducer

1. Calculate expected moment and forces
Moment capacity is usually the determining factor in
choosing the best transducer model for your application.
The end-effector attached to the transducer as well as
the tasks being performed will generate forces on the
transducer, which will result in a moment. The moment
is the applied force (dynamic and static together) multiplied
by the distance from the transducer origin to the point
at which the force is applied. It is important to also
consider overload conditions beyond the normal operating
forces and moments the transducer will experience.
2. Identify transducer strength
Use the Quick-Selection Guide on page 3 to compare the
measuring ranges of the transducer models available.
3. Verify resolution
Next, the required resolution should be considered. A
fine resolution requirement can conflict with a transducer
chosen based on moment capacity. Transducers with
larger ranges have coarser resolutions.
4. Inspect other transducer specifications
Compare the detailed specifications of the chosen
transducer to those of your application requirements to
be certain the chosen transducer is appropriate for your
application.
Example:
The expected maximum measured load is 98 N (10 kg)
of force and the end-effector is 25 cm long. The moment
generated would be 24.5 Nm.
The best F/T would be a Delta/SI-330-30 (330 N, 30 Nm)
which can handle the 24.5 Nm moment. The maximum
single-axis moment rating (Txy) of this model is 230 Nm,
which should be sufficient for overload situations.
Note:
The published payloads of robots are typically the maximum load the
robot can handle at published positional resolution. The robot can
actually handle much larger loads, but with some loss of positional
repeatability. During a crash both inertia and the sudden deceleration can
generate large loads. Robots are typically overpowered for an application,
and the robot is capable of exerting forces many times its rated load.
You may decide to select a transducer with a lower payload with the
understanding that this will increase the chances of damaging the
transducer during a crash.
We highly recommend the use of a robotic collision sensor or breakaway
device such as ATIs Collision Sensor as an added measure of F/T
transducer protection in all robotic applications.
Options
While our standard systems provide all the necessary
components for measuring force and torque, we also
have available options which may aid in interfacing the
F/T sensor system with special applications.
Interface Plates: All F/T transducers come with standard
interface plates. Some models have threaded hole
patterns machined into both sides that are used for
attaching to the customer's equipment. Others have a
threaded hole pattern on the tool side and a blank plate
on the mounting side. The blank plate is machined by the
customer to accommodate specific mounting requirements. For exact specifications for the various transducer
models, refer to the product drawings in this catalog.
Custom Interface: ATI can help you design and fabricate

interface plates needed for a nominal price. Please
contact an ATI salesperson for additional information.
Dual-Calibration for Controller F/T System: With this
option, one transducer can use two calibrations. For
Controller Systems, a manually-operated switch allows
the selection of either of two gain settings. Each gain
setting is paired with unique calibration information that
the user can load. This allows the use of one calibration
for a low payload with high resolution, and the other
calibration for a larger payload with a lower resolution.
Environmental Protection: Delta, Theta and some
Omega transducers are available with IP60, IP65 and
IP68 (10m) protection.

ATIs sales support has been invaluable in helping

us select the appropriate sensor and explaining
detailed technical issues. I am extremely pleased
with the ATI sensor we have chosen. It has
enabled us to measure forces exerted by a physician,
during a medical procedure, which have never
been measured before.

DELTA
Product Advantages
Precision machined from high-strength aircraft aluminum.
Overload pin stops make this an especially rugged transducer.
Maximum allowable overload values are 3.3 to 14.8 times
rated capacities.
High Signal-to-Noise Ratio: Silicon strain gauges provide a signal
75 times stronger than conventional foil gauges. This signal is
amplified, resulting in near-zero noise distortion.
IP60, IP65 and IP68 (10m) Versions Available: An IP60 version is
for use in dusty environments. The IP65 version of the transducer
is available for use in wet environments. The IP68 version is for
underwater environments to a maximum depth of 10 meters.
Contact ATI Industrial Automation for drawings and more information.

I use the ATI Delta force transducers to measure

multi-axial forces and moments applied by the
foot during pedaling of an experimental bicycle
ergometer. These transducers are a simple, accurate,
