FTS and SINGLEX Tactile Pressure Sensors
Compact, High Resolution, compensated for temperature and immune to magnetic interference
For next-generation research in A.I., Industrial Robots and Medical Applications.
Introduction
Brief Product Brochure
The FTS line and the SINGLEX variants, designed and manufactured by Seed Robotics, offer a range of tactile pressure sensors providing high resolution and wide measurement range.
Designed for applications where high resolution contact force measurement is necessary.
The high resolution - 1 miliNewton resolution (0.1g / 0.0035oz) - and low cost make it possible to build highly sensitive hands for next generation research in A.I., industrial robots and medical applications.
Additional benefits include High measurement range - up to 30N (3kg / 6.6lb), high overload tolerance and immunity to Magnetic fields.
FTS Range
_integrated in our Robot Hands
Fully integrated in select models, all cabling and electronics are securely mounted inside the fingers and the palm.
No exposed cabling.
FTS-3, 3 axis: FTS-3 measuring contact force and shear forces
FTS-1, 1 axis: FTS-1 measuring contact force
Refer to the Complete Datasheets below.
SINGLEX
_stand alone, for third party user applications
The same technology and benefits of the proven FTS technology, in a stand-alone package for use in third-party applications.
Singlex Standard: 20mm radius, in 3 axis and 1 axis variants, just like the FTS variants
Refer to the Complete Datasheets below.
High Resolution
&High frequency Contact Force readings
In standard mode, output is normalized to mN (1mN resolution = 0.1g / 0.0035oz) and can read up to 30N.
For Artificial Intelligence applications, a special “counts” mode can be enabled, providing RAW value output for even higher resolution (~200 counts per mN).
Standard frequency output: 50Hz, 1Mbps output over UART
Multiple sensors can be connected to a single DAC.
