Robotiq Force Torque Sensor Made Especially for Universal Robots

As we had a lot of demand for our Force Torque Sensor (FT150) to fit on Universal Robots, we thought it was the time to develop a sensor specifically oriented to the UR design. We wanted to get a perfect mechanical fit, but also to ease integration in terms of connections and software. Learn more about how the FT300 fits the bill.
