UFACTORY xArm 7 with 6 Axis Force Torque Sensor

Key Features and Capabilities

• 7-Axis Dexterity: The xArm 7 offers 7 degrees of freedom (DoF), providing redundant joints and increased flexibility, allowing the arm to maneuver around obstacles and reach complex orientations that a standard 6-axis robot can’t.
  • Specifications (xArm 7): Payload up to 3.5 kg and high repeatability of $\pm 0.1\text{ mm}$.
• Integrated 6-Axis Force/Torque Sensing: The high-precision sensor is installed on the tool flange to measure force ($\text{Fx},\text{Fy},\text{Fz}$) and torque ($\text{Tx},\text{Ty},\text{Tz}$) simultaneously across all six axes. This real-time force feedback is critical for fine-motor applications.
  • Sensor Performance: Features a high data rate of $200\text{ Hz}$, allowing for quick, responsive control.
• Meticulous Control: The accurate force and torque measurements enable the robot to perform delicate and contact-sensitive tasks that require a human-like touch, drastically improving quality and consistency.
• Developer-Friendly Platform: The system provides full software access to RAW sensor data, granting researchers and developers the flexibility to build custom functions, experimental workflows, and integrate with cutting-edge AI and Computer Vision systems.
• Intuitive Programming: Utilize xArm Studio, a fully graphical user interface (GUI) platform, which supports code-free programming through hand-teaching and drag-and-drop blocks, significantly reducing setup and engineering time.
• Broad Compatibility: The system offers open-source SDKs, including Python, ROS, and C++, ensuring seamless integration across multiple operating systems such as macOS, iOS, Windows, and Android.

Ideal Applications

The enhanced precision provided by the force torque sensor makes this system ideal for:

• Complex Assembly: Inserting delicate components, meshing gears, and part mating that requires tactile feedback.
• Finishing Tasks: Polishing, sanding, and deburring, where constant, controlled pressure is essential for a uniform surface finish.
• Quality Control & Testing: Performing precise functional testing, component insertion force measurement, and tactile inspection.
• Robotics Research: Advanced AI, machine learning, and human-robot collaboration studies that rely on accurate external force data.
• Material Handling: Handling fragile or irregularly shaped objects with adaptive gripping and precise manipulation.
