In the automation environment, tactile sensors ‐ in
particular 6‐dimensional force‐torque sensors ‐ are
of particular importance. They represent the sense
of touch for robots and motion systems.
In this area, AMS supplies components such as
force / torque sensors and associated data
acquisition systems, as well as complete system
solutions.
For the implementation of sophisticated handling
and robot applications, there are preconfigured
software modules for common robot controls,
which enable powerful movement adjustment
based on the data of a force / torque sensor in real
time.

Human‐robot‐collaboration
Current activities are concerned with the further
development with regard to functionally safe
force‐torque sensors in order to extend the areas
of application to human‐robot cooperation
applications.
Force‐torque sensors in testing technology
Robot systems with 6‐dimensional force‐torque
sensors are particularly suitable for testing tasks
because they directly record and evaluate the
interacting forces in all degrees of freedom. They
enable haptic tests to be carried out immediately,
for example with regard to the switching behavior
of switches. The direct feedback of the sensor data
in the motion execution enables the execution of
the capable assembly processes ‐ even of sensitive
components.
