The K3A 3-axis sensor is designed for measuring force in three mutually perpendicular axes.
This product group has a wide measurement ranges for the forces.
The K3A 3-Axis Force Sensors are developed for the following applications:
- Robotics,
- Medical technology,
- Measurements in automation technology,
- Mounting and Assembling of Parts in Production Lines,
- 6-Axis Force/Torque Platforms consisting of 4x K3A Sensors,
- Research and Testing.
Calibration of 3-Axis Force Sensors – From Standard (cv) to High Precision (s)
A key characteristic of 3D force sensors is crosstalk: applying a force also triggers a measurement in the two unloaded axes. Thanks to several compensation mechanisms (mechanical and electrical), crosstalk is typically less than 3% of the nominal load. Crosstalk is reproducible and proportional to the amplitude of the applied force. By applying an additional compensation matrix, crosstalk in all axes can be reduced to a maximum of less than 1%.
By default, you receive two factory calibrations, each with two measurement points:
one without a compensation matrix (“cv”) and one with extended matrix compensation (“s”).
For detailed proof of the sensor's linearity, you can optionally extend the calibration to 4 or 6 measurement points:
This ensures your sensor is optimally calibrated to your application from the very first measurement.
