ATI: GAMMA NET F/T Transducer #9105-NET-GAMMA

The Network Force/Torque (Net F/T) sensor system is a multi‑axis force and torque sensor system that simultaneously measures forces Fx, Fy, and Fz and torques Tx, Ty, and Tz. The Net F/T system communicates via EtherNet/IP, CAN Bus, Ethernet, and is compatible with DeviceNet. Optional fieldbus interfaces are also available. Use the Net F/T’s web pages to ease installation and monitor the sensor system.

The Net F/T system supports the following features:

Multiple Calibrations

The Net F/T can hold up to sixteen different transducer calibrations, and each can have a different sensingrange. The different calibrations are created with different load scenarios during the calibration process at the factory and stored in the Net F/T.

Multiple calibrations allow for a larger calibration for coarse adjustments and smaller calibrations for fineadjustments, or to use the same transducer in two or more very different loading regimes. Contact ATI Industrial Automation for information on obtaining additional transducer calibrations.

To use a particular calibration, select that calibration in the active configuration.

Multiple Configurations

The Net F/T also holds up to sixteen different user configurations. Each configuration is linked to auser‑selected calibration and may have its own tool transformation. Configurations are useful when the Net F/T is used in a variety of tasks. The currently active configuration is user selected on the Net F/T’s Settings web page.

Force and Torque Values

The Net F/T outputs scaled numbers, or counts, that represent the loading of each force and torque axis. The number of counts per force unit and counts per torque unit is specified by the calibration. To use different force and torque units (i.e., a transducer is calibrated to use pounds and pound‑inches, but the user prefers Newtons and Newton‑meters), change the output units on the Net F/T Configurations web page.

System Status Code

Each Net F/T output data record contains a system status code which indicates the health of the transducer and the Net Box. For details, refer to Section 17.1—System Status Code.

Monitor Conditions

The Net F/T is capable of monitoring the force and torque levels of each axis and setting an output code if a reading crosses a user defined-Condition. The Net F/T can hold up to sixteen Conditions, and each Condition can be enabled and disabled individually or as a group. Set-up Monitor Conditions on the Net F/T’s Monitor Conditions web page (Section 4.5—Monitor Conditions Web Page (moncon.htm)).

Tool Transformations

The Net F/T is capable of measuring the forces and torques acting at a point other than the factory‑defined point‑of‑origin (also known as the sensing reference frame origin). This change of reference is called a tool transformation. Specify tool transformations for each configuration on the Net F/T’s Configurations web page.

Multiple Interfaces

The Net F/T system communicates via EtherNet/IP, CAN bus, Ethernet, and is compatible with DeviceNet. Each of these interfaces can be enabled and disabled on the Net F/T’s Communications web page.

Power Supply

The Net F/T system accepts power through PoE (Power‑over‑Ethernet) or from a DC power source with an output voltage between 11V and 25V.

Product Advantages

• Extremely-High Strength with Low Weight: Precision machined from high-strength aircraft aluminum. Maximum allowable overload values are 6.9 to 31.6 times rated capacities.
• High Signal-to-Noise Ratio: Silicon strain gages provide a signal 75 times stronger than conventional foil gages. This signal is amplified, resulting in near-zero noise distortion.
• IP60, IP65, and IP68 (10m) Versions Available: An IP60 version is for use in dusty environments. The IP65 version of the transducer is protected against water spray. The IP68 version is submergible in fresh water to a depth of 10 meters.

• Real-time force control
• Robotic assembly
• Haptics feedback
• Automotive part testing
• Prosthetic device testing

ATI's F/T calibrations are traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). ATI certifies sensors are calibrated in accordance with applicable ATI procedures. These procedures are compliant with the ISO 9001 standard to ensure that products are within ATI specifications. Contact your sales representative for accuracy information.
