6-axis force sensing integrated robot system
Integrated Force Control
Force sensors do not have cycle times! The 'Direct Connection Method for Force Sensors' overturns that common sense. For the automation of polishing, assembly, and deburring.
While providing the latest collaborative robots such as YuMi, GoFa, and SWIFTI, ABB also possesses various unique technologies as a traditional comprehensive robot manufacturer. One representative example is this "6-axis force sensor integrated robot system." By using a "direct connection method for force sensors" that does not go through the main CPU, it solves challenging automation tasks that require handling variations in shape and surface, as well as the nuanced force application typical of skilled craftsmanship, such as polishing, assembly, and deburring. There are voices expressing concerns that force sensors have slow measurement and response times, making it difficult to achieve practical cycle times due to time lags and adjustments. On the other hand, ABB's controller separates the main CPU from axis control calculations. This system improves the response from calculation to command by directly connecting the axis computer and the force sensor, thereby supporting the achievement of cycle times and required quality levels. Additionally, the flexibility of motion control is another key point. The ability to make fine adjustments and refinements on-site with actual machines is one of the advantages of ABB robot systems!

basic information
**System Configuration and Features** This system consists of ABB robots, standard force sensors, peripheral devices, and dedicated software. It is optimal for automating high-precision tasks such as polishing, assembly, and deburring due to the following features: • Fast response by bypassing the main CPU • Trajectory accuracy, rigidity, and environmental resistance unique to ABB robots • Flexibility for on-site fine-tuning (characteristics of the control language) **System Mechanism** 1. 6-axis measurement with force sensors 2. Sensor signals measured every few milliseconds 3. Signals are directly input to the controller's axis computer without going through the main CPU 4. Integrated processing of robot program operation commands and acquired signals 5. Operation commands sent to each axis from the drive unit
