World’s first and only force/torque sensing systems uniquely designed for complex, unstructured robotics across surgical, logistics, and frontier applications
ForceFilm™ enables an unlimited number of transducers to be micromachined into a single thinfilm and robotically assembled in a single step. This makes multi-dimensional and redundant force/torque sensing radically scalable and is the namesake of ForceN.
The thinfilm structure of the transducer utilizes the full capability of the sensing structure making every gram and millimeter work to their full potential without any wasted space for wiring and connections.
No wires, solder joints, or dissimilar materials & complete sealing & shielding, allows ForceFilm’s monolithic construction to provide unprecedented stability across time, temperature, & environment.
Micromachining each ForceFilm™ allows for made-to-measure customizability, freeing robotics engineers from a fixed catalog.
DedicatedOverload™ adds a unique multi-dimensional protection structure that locks out when the sensing beams would be overloaded bypassing the additional force/torque around the sensing beams. This creates uniquely robust systems that can survive multiple full-speed robotics collisions without sacrificing sensitivity - robot hi-five!
Separating the sensing and overload protection into two separate structures decouples sensing ranges/resolutions from overload protection. This breaks the traditional overload limits of 150% (metal foil) or 500% (silicon).
The mechanics of the overload protection act like gear teeth when engaged providing the world’s first long-term durable, multi-dimensional overload protection without affecting sensing cycle durability. Go beyond today’s single overload event protection.
First force/torque sensing system built for drop and impact.
Synap™ is a network of ultra high density edge computing modules embedded directly into the sensing structure to create the fastest, easiest, and most capable machine manipulation systems ever - machine manipulation should be as quick & simple as machine vision.
Bolt on, plug in, and start developing immediately. All our systems are pre-calibrated & compensated, connect directly to your digital bus, & come with real-time data visualization/logging software with API support.
The only calibration-free force/torque sensing system. ForceN’s unique completely sealed, shielded, solid-state solution is the first to offer a calibration-free lifetime while still matching the world’s best accuracy.
Operate faster & with better insight at the edge. Report on contact, EoAT inertia cancellation, dynamic object weighing, & more
