The K6D68 multi-component sensor is suitable for measuring force and torque in three mutually perpendicular axes.

The K6D68 force / torque sensor is characterized by compact dimensions at high forces and moments. It is eminently suitable for applications in robotics, e.g.

• collision detection
• “Teach-In”
• Presence or error detection
• Force- or torque-controlled operation
• Stress measurement in medical technology / prosthetics / orthopedic technology / gait analysis
• Measurements in sports medicine
• Comfort measurements / Ergonomic measurements
• Monitoring of joining and assembly processes

The evaluation of the load of force and torque takes place e.g. with a measuring amplifier GSV-8. With the freely available software GSVmulti the display, recording and export of the measurement results are possible. The calculation of the 6 load sizes is e.g. via a Windows DLL or via Labview using a provided digital calibration document. The calibration document contains the individual calibration factors and error corrections of the sensor. Due to the detailed documentation of the calculation instructions, the use of 6 measuring amplifiers with analogue output, e.g. GSV-1H, with subsequent billing of the measurement results possible.

The sensors K6D68 1kN / 20Nm and 2kN / 50Nm are made of an aluminum alloy with a stainless steel housing. The sensors from 5kN / 50Nm are made entirely of stainless steel.
