One of the Smallest 6-axis Transducers in the World
The Nano43 is our thinnest transducer model available and allows linkages and cables to pass through its center hole.
Extremely-High Strength:
- EDM wire-cut from high yield-strength stainless steel.
- Maximum allowable single-axis overload values are 6.4 to 14.2 times rated capacities.
High Signal-to-Noise Ratio: Silicon strain gages provide a signal 75 times stronger than conventional foil gages. This signal is amplified, resulting in near-zero noise distortion.
Typical Applications:
- Telerobotics
- Robotic surgery
- Robotic-hand research
- Finger-force research

Motoman HP3 Material Handling Robot
Compact, Powerful, and Economical
The Motoman HP3 is a small, high-speed robot that requires minimal installation space. The HP3 features a 701 mm (27.6″) reach and offers the widest work envelope in its class. Due to its compact design, it can be floor-, wall-, or ceiling-mounted. The HP3XF is an extra high-speed version, while the HP3L features an extended reach.
The HP3 offers superior performance in small part applications such as assembly,dispensing, packaging, material handling and machine tending. The HP3 yields extraordinary production results while requiring minimal capital investment.
The compact design and built-in collision avoidance features with multiple robot control allow up to four robots to be used together to maximize productivity while reducing overall floorspace requirements.
Advanced NX100 Controller
The NX100 high-performance controller features a Windows® CE programming pendant, fast processing, easy-to-use INFORM III programming language, and robust PC architecture.
The NX100 offers unmatched multiple robot control capability (up to four robots) to minimize cost of integration and eliminate risk of robot collisions.
The NX100 includes four security levels of password protection (user, editor, maintenance and supervisor) for up to 100 individual users. Password use restricts access to the production programs and the controller logs any changes.
The programming pendant features a color touch-screen display that can be configured as a custom HMI with buttons and status indicators.
Dual-channel safety features include enhanced E-Stop functionality, integrated speed monitoring, manual brake release, and compliance with both ANSI/RIA R15.06-1999 and Canadian safety standards.
