HEX 6-AXIS

Force/torque sensing for precise, contact-based automation

  • Six-axis measurement - captures force and torque across Fx, Fy, Fz, Tx, Ty and Tz
  • HEX-E and HEX-H variants - choose higher sensitivity or higher torque capacity for the application
  • Advanced force control - maintains controlled contact in sanding, polishing, deburring and assembly
  • Optical sensing and IP67 protection - built for reliable use in demanding production environments

Surface finishing
Maintain controlled contact force while sanding, polishing or deburring changing surface contours.
Assembly
Use force feedback to locate parts, guide insertion and detect contact during precision assembly.
Quality inspection
Measure force and torque to verify placement, fit and contact conditions during automated inspection.
01

Control force across changing surfaces

Maintain consistent contact force while sanding, polishing or deburring, even as the tool follows curved or uneven workpiece contours. Six-axis feedback helps the robot adapt its motion to the real surface instead of relying on position alone.

Choose the right sensor for the task

HEX-E prioritizes sensitivity for precise force-control work such as sanding and pin insertion. HEX-H provides higher torque capacity when the application uses a heavier payload or longer tool. Both variants share the same compact IP67 housing.

2 variants HEX-E for sensitivity, HEX-H for higher torque capacity

Built for reliable industrial force sensing

The optical sensing design resists sudden shocks, while the IP67-rated housing supports use in demanding production environments. Integrated software simplifies force-control setup, path recording and contact detection across supported robot platforms.

WHY HEX 6-AXIS

Force feedback for contact-based automation

Use six-axis feedback to maintain defined contact force while sanding, polishing and deburring. The robot can follow surface contours while reducing the risk of over- or under-processing.

Force feedback helps the robot search for position, detect contact and monitor insertion conditions in assembly tasks. This supports faster setup and more reliable handling of part variation.

Measure Fx, Fy, Fz, Tx, Ty and Tz in one compact sensor. HEX-E prioritizes sensitivity, while HEX-H supports higher torque capacity for heavier or longer tooling.

Application

Built for feedback

Add reliable force and torque feedback to sanding, polishing, deburring, assembly, insertion, part detection and quality-control tasks. HEX helps the robot respond to real contact conditions instead of following position alone.
