ATI Develops Ultra-Thin Force/Torque Sensor
Mini43LP Sensor is Uniquely Suited for Smaller Automated Applications
ATI Industrial Automation reveals the newest offering from their Force/Torque Sensor (F/T) product family. The ultra-thin Mini43LP F/T sensor provides reliable force sensing in a rugged yet compact transducer. At less than 8 mm tall, it is uniquely suited for smaller automated applications. The low profile sensor body allows users to optimize their work envelope and preserve the robot's lifting power for end-of-arm tools. The streamlined design features a bolt-down mounting pattern to minimize stack height, an angled cable exit to eliminate interference with adjacent equipment, and a large through-hole for simplified utility management.
ATI's Mini43LP can enhance the accuracy and repeatability of research and development, product validation, assembly, and other micro force sensing applications. It is the ideal force sensing option for small delicate operations such as the assembly of electronic components or optics, product research and testing applications, laboratory automation, robotic surgery, and more.
The Mini43LP is the thinnest six-axis force/torque sensor available, combining the superior accuracy and strength of ATI's renowned Force/Torque Sensors in an ultra-thin package. The Mini43LP is compatible with all of ATI's existing communication interfaces and integrates easily with miniature robot models from Mecademic, Yaskawa, and others.

Boston Dynamics Webinar - Why Humanoids Are the Future of Manufacturing
Join us November 18th for this Webinar as we reflect on what we've learned by observing factory floors, and why we've grown convinced that chasing generalization in manipulation—both in hardware and behavior—isn't just interesting, but necessary. We'll discuss AI research threads we're exploring at Boston Dynamics to push this mission forward, and highlight opportunities our field should collectively invest more in to turn the humanoid vision, and the reinvention of manufacturing, into a practical, economically viable product.
