Zurich, Switzerland - October 16, 2024 - Bota Systems, a pioneer in multi-axis force-torque sensors, has opened its own Customer Experience Center at HEIDENHAIN's CONNECT Manufacturing Innovation Hub in Fremont, California.
The new center will showcase Bota Systems' complete portfolio of force-torque sensors alongside a Mecademic robot demonstrating cutting-edge applications. Visitors will experience firsthand how these sensors can optimize robotic performance in a range of industrial settings.
HEIDENHAIN's CONNECT Manufacturing Innovation Hub, spanning 12,000 square feet, was inaugurated earlier this year as a space dedicated to fostering collaboration and advancing motion control technologies. HEIDENHAIN Corporation is promoting the co-use of the facility with OEI/OEM partners for collaborative projects and demonstration space in the Bay Area. Further expansion of the CONNECT Hub infrastructure is planned at their Schaumburg IL facility in early 2025.
David Doyle, President and CEO of HEIDENHAIN CORPORATION, commented: "Bota Systems embodies the type of forward-thinking, innovative companies we are excited to partner with at the CONNECT Hub. Their force-torque sensors enhance robotic sensing where force control matters."
Klajd Lika, CEO & Co-Founder at Bota Systems, added: "We're delighted to work with HEIDENHAIN, one of the true leading lights in automation and robotics, and I look forward to seeing our partnership develop."
Force-torque sensors, critical for modern robotics, measure the forces and torques applied to their surface, enabling robots to perform complex interaction tasks with precision and adaptability. These real-time feedback sensors are key to enhancing robotic dexterity and safety.
Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
