2. Product Overview

The Axia80 Force/Torque (F/T) sensor detects six components of force and torque (F
applied to the tool side of the sensor. The sensor communicates this data to a device (such as a personal computer,
robot, or PLC). The ATI Axia-series product line differs from the other (non-Axia) ATI F/T sensor models. Thus,
the Axia sensors have different options and available features. The Axia-series force/torque sensors are available in
several different payload and communication interface versions. For more information about the communication
interface, refer to the applicable ATI Axia sensor manual in
The Axia80 sensor is available in different model types (Axia80-MXX) that are identifiable by the grooves on
the outer housing; refer to Section 2.1—Model Type Identification. The MXX suffix signifies the full-scale torque
measurement range. For the calibration ranges of each model, refer to
The sensor's mounting side attaches to a rigid fixture or robot. The tool side attaches to the customer tooling. Both
the mounting and tool sides have a 71.12 mm bolt circle pattern with (6) M5 tapped holes and (2) slip fit dowel
holes. If the sensor does not have the same bolt pattern as the mounting or tool sides, use interface plates; refer to
Section 3.1—Interface
An M8 male connector is for power and communication. The number of pins on the connector depends on the
communication type (Table
