Introduction

The 6-component force transducer K6D150 simultaneously measures the forces Fx, Fy, Fz and torques Mx, My, Mz on three perpendicular axes. This "second generation" 6-component sensor integrates 6 independent strain gauge force sensors. The forces are measured directly at the contact surface, allowing maximum rigidity and a reduced size. The contact surfaces are designed for optimized force transmission, reducing non-repeatability to about 0.1%, overall accuracy to 0.2% (after decoupling), and crosstalk sensitivity to 1%.

The K6D150 transducer is available in 4 measuring ranges :

Model	K6D150 (5kN/200Nm)	K6D150 (10kN/500Nm)	K6D150 (25 kN /1 kNm)	K6D150 (90kN/3 kNm)
Fx, Fy [kN]	2	4	10	30
Fz [kN]	5	10	25	90
Mx, My, Mz [Nm]	200	500	1000	3000

Calibration

Each transducer is delivered with a factory calibration certificate, as well as a 6x6 channel coupling matrix, identified in calibration to minimize cross-talks.

The real forces are obtained by multiplying the 6x6 decoupling matrix (M) by the vector I containing the 6 output signals of the K6D150. The origin of the reference frame in which the measured forces are projected is generally the center of the contact surface (see documentation). After neutralizing the inter-corner effects, a force applied on one axis will result in a force variation on only one axis. The accuracy of the measurement is thus improved by a factor of 5 to 10.

Calibration to specific measuring ranges is available as an option, as well as ISO-17025 calibration.

Installation

The 6-component load cell K6D150 is easily installed on machine tools, arms, or test benches. The introduction of the forces and the fixing to the bench are carried out by 6 taps M12 x 1.75 of 15mm of depth + 2 pins of contrage Ø8 mm E7 (Torques of tightening: see here).

The application of the force is made on the portions of the surface raised by 1 mm. The inner part of the surface is used for centering.

The operating temperature range is -10 to 85°C.

Measuring chain

A complete measurement chain for the supply, visualization and acquisition of measurement signals is configured according to the specific needs of the application.

Connectivity

A cable, detachable or not, is systematically proposed with the 6 axis sensor. The length, standard 5m, is specifiable. The output connector is specifiable.
