Product Overview
MegaONE 6-Axis Force-Torque Sensor
The MegaONE is an industrial 6-axis Force Torque sensor — the strongest in our lineup —enabling high payload force and torque measuring applications. Created to meet the growing need for an F/T sensor with a very high payload that can be used with heavy industrial robots.
As part of our Generation A family, MegaONE combines our proven sensing technology with our new FTstack™ software and configuration tool for instant setup. It is available in two communication variants — EtherCAT and Industrial — and two range options, offering high or very high payload. MegaONE integrates seamlessly across diverse systems and is available in ready-to-start kits
The MegaONE finds applications within aerospace, construction, solar panel and automation industries. The Industrial variant supports Ethernet, Modbus, Serial, and USB communication for broad compatibility, while the EtherCAT variant is optimized for EtherCAT networks, enabling precise synchronization and daisy-chaining across multiple devices.
