1. General Presentation
The terms ''Sensor'', ''Robotiq Sensor'', ''Force Sensor'', ''Torque Sensor'', ''FT 300 Force Torque Sensor'' used in the following
manual refer to the Robotiq Force Torque Sensor FT 300 unless specified. The following manual instructions apply to both
versions unless explicitly stated otherwise. The Robotiq FT 300 Force Torque Sensor is a robotic peripheral designed for force and
torque data acquisition. The FT 300 Force Torque Sensor is meant to have an end-of-arm tool mounted on it, so that it can sense
force and torque applied on the tool. The Sensor is compatible with various tools and provides feedback that can be used for:
hand guiding a robot, force control processes, assembly tasks, product testing, etc.
Info
The following manual uses the metric system, unless specified, all dimensions are in millimeters.
Info
The following section presents the key features of the Sensor and must not be considered as being related to Sensor
operation, each feature is detailed in the appropriate section of the manual. Safety guidelines must be read and
