3DFBS
3D Force Button Sensor

Overview

Add a sense of touch to any application

The 3D Force Button Sensor enables you to add a sense of touch to any application.

Suitable for integration in:

Robotic grippers, hands (fingertips, phalanges & palm), and feet
Prosthetic hands
Rehabilitation tools
Exoskeletons
Gaming controllers

… and much more!

Measure 3D force and rate of change of 3D force over time, apply force thresholds to trigger appropriate actions, and detect contact and/or touch.

An entire range of 3D Force Button Sensors

The full 18-variant range, gives robot OEMs and system integrators the precise configuration they need for their specific application requirements. Same patented optical technology. Same real-time 3D force sensing. Now configured precisely for your application. Built for robot OEMs and system integrators who need more than one-size-fits-all.
