After Market Force Sensors For 6 Axis Robots

Hello all,

I've been looking at adding force sensing to a TM5-900 cobot from Omron. From what I can find online there are not that many options for an EOA force sensor, but I came across the FT 300-S from Robotiq and was wondering if this is the best/only option or if there are others like it out there?

Cheers,

Yes, the Omron does have force sensing but it's relatively insensitive with a minimum detection force of 30 N. For my application, a minimum detection force of 1 N or less is ideal, which is also why I need an EOA-mounted sensor, not a base-mounted sensor.

ATIs' Nano F/T series looks like it would work well!
