Thanks to a structure with good durability and a high overload withstanding capacity, the strain gauge can withstand several times safety overload when working. Compared to traditional structure, the HPS-FT series sensor has a higher signal-to-noise ratio and sensitivity. The integrated temperature compensation algorithm significantly reduces the temperature drift of the sensor due to temperature change.

When installing the screws, you need to use spring washers and flat washers, and a small amount of medium-strength thread glue (as shown in the figure).
Hypersen Technologies Co., Ltd. HPS-FT-USER V1.8 4.3 Electrical cable installation Steps: 1. Route the sensor cable from axis 6 to 1 at the end of the robot and fix it. Make sure that there is enough room for all joints of the robot to move and take Note protective measures to prevent pinch, dragging, abrasion, etc.
Hypersen Technologies Co., Ltd. HPS-FT-USER V1.8 Shielded wire (Optional) 4. Connect the EtherNet adapter to the PC network port with an Ethernet cable, and set the IP address of the PC network port to 192.168.1.X (the sensor 192.168.1.100 by default). Check whether or not the sensor is working normally through the “6-axis force torque sensor host”.
Hypersen Technologies Co., Ltd. HPS-FT-USER V1.8 4.4.3 Setting and enabling of the protection mode of the robot You can set the basic alarm threshold through the host demonstration software, and carry out a simple test through the host computer software. For details, see 5.1.5. More functions can be implemented by commands (see the Ethernet data sheet for details of the commands).
Hypersen Technologies Co., Ltd. HPS-FT-USER V1.8 (In general, the robot is controlled to move 10mm along axis Z- of the end tool. You can decide whether or not to open the gripper or change the tool quickly according to the different stations of the robot to ensure that its withdrawal from the collision will not cause secondary damage.)
