Understanding the Role of a 6‑Axis Force/Torque Sensor in Modern Robotics
A 6-axis force/torque sensor measures forces and torques along three translational and three rotational axes, giving a robot a full picture of contact dynamics rather than the single-direction feedback of a basic load cell. This multidirectional sensing and high-resolution measurement enable robots to perform delicate assembly, force-guided insertion and surface following with the repeatable precision that modern manufacturing and warehouse automation demand. Beyond improved
