How 6-Axis Force/Torque Sensors Work (and When to Use One)

Sensors /

Introduction As robotic systems become more intelligent and dexterous, they increasingly require feedback in all directions—not just linear force or rotational torque. This is where 6-axis force/torque (F/T) sensors come into play. These advanced sensors provide real-time data on forces and torques in all three spatial dimensions, enabling precise control, collision detection, and adaptive behavior.

What Is Level Transmitter Range Migration?

Level meter /

1. Understanding Level Transmitter Migration Range migration refers to the adjustment of a level transmitter’s measurement range so that it accurately reflects the actual liquid level. In certain installations—such as when the transmitter is not mounted at the zero-level reference, or when special process media or sealing fluids are involved—the raw pressure readings may deviate
