6 components force platform - test bench, robotics

Force/torque platform 6 components - 20 kN

The 6-component platform MC12 simultaneously measures forces and moments in all 3 directions. The capacities Fxyz reach 9 kN / 9 kN / 18 kN, the torque capacities Mxyz 2,7 kNm / 2,7 kNm / 1,3 kNm. Other ranges are possible on request. The force is introduced via threaded inserts over the entire platform surface, and installation on machine tools and test benches is facilitated by the T-slot flange on the transducer base.

The MC12 platform has been designed to meet two expectations: robustness and accuracy. The measurement is accurate (non-linearity: 0.2%, cross-talk: 0.5%), repeatable and stable. The platform is made of a high strength aluminum alloy (7075-T6), the anodized surfaces provide protection against corrosion. The internal components are protected from dust and moisture intrusion by O-rings and protective coatings applied to the strain gauges.

Packaging

The platform generates 6 non-amplified analog signals, which are ideally processed with the dedicated conditioning module GEN5. This conditioning module automatically reads the calibration information stored in the internal memory of the platform and restores the real forces after application of the decoupling matrix and the real sensitivities on all axes in the form of an amplified analog signal (voltage), or a digital signal.
