Bota Systems AG End of Arm Tools PixONE

The Bota Systems PixONE is a novel through-hole force-torque sensor designed primarily for robotic applications. Its standout feature is the innovative hollow shaft design, which allows for the integration between a robot's arm and its end-of-arm tooling (EOT). This integration facilitates internal cable routing, which is increasingly preferred by robotic arm manufacturers to prevent cable tangles and movement restrictions, thus enhancing both robot agility and operational safety. In terms of physical design, the PixONE is distinguished by its minimalistic two-piece structure, which significantly reduces the sensor's weight—making it 30% lighter than other sensors in the market. This reduction in weight is crucial for dynamic robotic systems where additional mass can limit speed and efficiency. Additionally, this streamlined design simplifies the assembly process, further reducing the complexity and potential downtime in industrial settings. From a technical and operational standpoint, the PixONE is versatile and robust, equipped with an integrated Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and a high durability rating of IP67, making it waterproof and suitable for diverse environments. The sensor is available in multiple models, with external diameters starting at just 60mm and through-hole diameters at 15mm. Moreover, it supports high-speed data communication via EtherCAT technology and features Power over Ethernet (PoE) for simplified electrical installations, making it a highly adaptable solution for a broad range of robotic applications, from industrial manufacturing to sensitive medical procedures.
