Connectivity
The large number of interfaces offers an excellent opportunity for flexible integration into the customer's control systems.
Commissioning app in the SCHUNK control center
The SCHUNK Control Center ensures simple commissioning, parameterization, and diagnosis of the FTS sensor system. Users can visualize and save measurement data directly. The sensor coordinate system can be moved to the desired tool center point and load limits can also be defined. Moreover, the functions include network configuration, firmware updates, parameter adjustments, and backups as well as comprehensive diagnostic options. The app is compatible with Windows and can be downloaded at schunk.com/downloads-software.
Interface Box FTS IFB
The Interface Box is optionally available in IP 67. Depending on the firmware variant, the Interface Box can communicate via one of the following interfaces: PROFINET, EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP™, Ethernet (TCP/UDP).

Application example
Application example
In haptics measurement, the FTS 6-axis force/torque sensor is used to analyze the interaction between an object and its environment. The sensor is either integrated directly into a measuring device or used in conjunction with a robot arm, which ensures precise movements and pressure exertion.
