This image shows a "microforce-sensing mobile microrobot" juxtaposed against a U.S. penny. The device is being developed at Purdue University (Purdue University photo) Download Photo WEST LAFAYETTE, ...

a Optical microscopy images of clamped-beam probe with different heights and their corresponding reflection spectra. b, c, and d are the bending deformation simulation results of the sensor under the ...

Due to the trend of miniaturization of devices, micromanipulation has been a hot topic in the last two decades. Unlike the macro world, the micro object can easily be damaged if the contact force is ...

Provided in a 7.0 x 5.2 x 2.9-mm ceramic package, the HFD-500 Micro-Force Sensor can detect an applied force of under 1 N, a sensitivity higher than other devices of its type. The sensor's small size ...

The latest force torque sensors provide the levels of sensitivity and reliability needed for industrial cobot applications.

Maciej (“MJ”) Lisiak, a micro miniaturization team leader at Futek Advanced Sensor Technology, Inc. discusses the next generation of sensor design and technology. Back in 2018, Lisiak had the goal of ...

Bruker’s UMT TriboLab™ test system has the ability to accurately and reliably perform such precision measurements across wide displacement (µm to mm) and force (mN to kN) ranges. This extraordinary ...

Researchers have developed a tiny fiber optic force sensor that can measure extremely slight forces exerted by small objects. The new light-based sensor overcomes the limitations of force sensors ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Force sensors weigh freight on manufacturing and transportation equipment. They also monitor loads on machines subject to stringent ...

Apple on Tuesday was granted a patent for an ultrasound-based force and touch sensor that could lead to a thinner, less obstructive 3D Touch mechanism, a structure which was reportedly a barrier to ...
