2. Product Overview
The Axia90 Force/Torque (F/T) sensor detects six components of force and torque (F

) that are
applied to the tool side of the sensor. The sensor communicates this data to a device (such as a personal computer,
robot, or PLC). The ATI Axia-series product line differs from the other (non-Axia) ATI F/T sensor models. Thus,
the Axia sensors have different options and available features. The Axia-series force/torque sensors are available in
several different payload and communication interface versions. For more information about the communication
interface, refer to the applicable ATI Axia sensor manual in
The sensor’s mounting side attaches to a rigid fixture or robot. The robot mounting side of the sensor has a 81.065
mm diameter bolt circle (BC) for (6) M4 socket head cap screws and (2) 3 mm slip-fit dowel pin holes. The tool
side attaches to the customer tooling. The tool side has a 50 mm BC pattern with (7) M6 tapped holes, 6 mm slip-fit
dowel pin hole, and a 31.5 mm recess. For more information on the mounting patterns, refer to the
. If the sensor does not have the same bolt pattern as the mounting or tool sides, use interface
. The sensor is IP67 rated.
An M8 8-pin male connector is for power and communication.
On the side of the sensor, LEDs indicate the sensor’s
operational state. For the connector pin assignments on the sensor and cables and more information about the
LEDs, refer to the applicable ATI communication interface manual in
