Force Control in Actuators and Robot End Grippers

Based on our popular paper, Force Control in Actuators and Robot End Effectors, Chuck Lewin talks about servo actuators that function as end effectors, often mounted on transport systems such as robotics arms and gantries. These devices include linear actuators, force feedback actuators, voice coils, and more. Understanding their capabilities and properties will help ensure that your next application delivers the goods without dropping the ball!

This webinar covers:

• Linear Actuators
• Key Concepts of Force Control
• Algorithms and Filters

Force sensing functions do not require separate, physical hardware. They can instead be achieved through electronics that measure current flow through actuator coils, allowing a sense torque to be inferred. Dive in and discover how PMD products may fit into your force control needs.
