Bota Systems AG has announced the launch of the SenseONE T5, an advanced version of its SensONE force-torque sensor, featuring a remarkable sensitivity of 0.05 N/0.002 Nm. This improvement represents a three- to five-fold increase in sensitivity compared to previous versions, representing a significant advance in sensory technology.
SenseONE T5: force-torque sensor for small cobots
Based in Zurich, Bota Systems has developed the SenseONE T5 specifically for use in collaborative robots (cobots) that handle light loads, not exceeding 5 kg. This compact and lightweight sensor is the ideal solution to increase the capacity of small cobots, enabling them to perform tasks with a high level of accuracy.
Ilias Patsiaouras, co-founder and CTO of Bota Systems, has highlighted the importance of this innovation, noting that the new force-par sensor will unlock possibilities for applications that require high sensitivity. Particularly useful in quality control and precision assembly, the SensONE T5 is ideal for detailed operations such as the assembly of small electronic components and the installation of wiring in confined spaces.
The SenseONE T5 has been designed with ease of integration in mind. As a robotic sensor that measures both force and torque on a surface, its output signals are crucial for real-time feedback control, thereby allowing the cobots to perform complex interaction tasks. Bota Systems stresses that its sensor, capable of measuring in six axes, is especially suited for challenging applications in robotics.
This sensor stands out not only for its compactness and resistance to elements such as dust and water, but also for its ease of installation on robotic arms without the need for additional adapters. In addition, the SenseONE T5 guarantees an accuracy of better than 2% and a high sampling rate of up to 2000 Hz. Available with USB/RS422 Serial and EtherCat communication options, it facilitates integration with software such as TwinCAT, URcap, ROS, LabVIEW and MATLAB.
Bota Systems, in addition to being a key partner of Universal Robots and Mecademic, has expanded its market presence by partnering with NEXT Robotics, becoming its official distributor in German-speaking countries. Following a successful $2.5 million funding round led by Marathon Venture Capital, the company has ambitious plans for expansion and product development.
For those interested in learning more about Bota Systems’ innovations, the company will be exhibiting at the Robotics Summit & Expo in Boston, an outstanding event that will bring together more than 200 exhibitors and offer numerous networking and learning opportunities on the latest trends in robotics.
The evolution of force-torque sensors, such as Bota Systems’ SenseONE T5, underscores the growing importance of collaborative robotics in modern industry. As these devices become more sensitive and precise, new possibilities are opening up not only in manufacturing and assembly, but also in sectors such as medicine and biotechnology, where millimeter accuracy is critical. This technological breakthrough not only improves the efficiency and quality of current operations, but also paves the way for future innovations that could radically transform various industries.
