2. Product Overview
The Ethernet Axia Force/Torque (F/T) sensor measures six components of force and torque (F

) and communicates this data to customer devices via Ethernet. The user can communicate with the sensor from
a console through Telnet or CGI. A user can also communicate with the sensor through the sensor’s internal ATI
webpages, the ATI demo program, or an ATI-provided LabVIEW
®
code.
The sensor’s mounting side attaches to a mounting interface plate, which mounts to the customer robot. The tool
side attaches to the customer tooling. Both the mounting and tool sides have a 71.12 mm bolt circle pattern with (6)
M5 tapped holes and (2) slip fit dowel holes (refer to
for more information). The sensor is
IP64 rated. An M8 6-pin male connector is for power and Ethernet. For the pin assignments, refer to
Pin Assignment for the Ethernet and Power Connection
for Ethernet and power.
