NexBot Vision SD312-015 1500N Single-Axis Force Sensor

Overview

The NexBot Vision SD312-015 is a high-performance single-axis force sensor designed to provide precise, real-time force feedback for demanding industrial automation applications. This sensor enables robots to perform tasks that require a delicate touch or consistent pressure, such as polishing, grinding, deburring, and force-limited assembly. By integrating this sensor into your robotic cell, you can significantly improve process consistency, enhance product quality, and reduce defects caused by uncontrolled force application. Key features of the SD312-015 include its robust construction and high accuracy. The housing is machined from durable 17-4PH stainless steel, providing an IP67 rating for protection against dust and water ingress, ensuring reliable operation in harsh manufacturing environments. The sensor is engineered for a nominal capacity of 1500 N, making it suitable for a wide range of medium-force tasks. A critical benefit is its substantial overload protection of up to 500% of its nominal capacity, which safeguards the sensor against damage from unexpected impacts or programming errors, thereby minimizing downtime and replacement costs. Integration is streamlined through its native EtherCAT communication protocol, allowing for high-speed, low-latency data transmission directly to the robot controller. This facilitates advanced force control strategies and real-time process adjustments. The compact form factor and standard mounting interface simplify installation on a variety of end-of-arm tooling (EOAT) and robot wrists. The SD312-015 sensor is an essential component for automating complex material removal and assembly processes where force control is paramount for achieving the desired outcome.
