Product details
Overview
A six-axis robot-wrist force/torque sensor with EtherCAT communication, 200 N nominal force range, 15 Nm nominal torque range and integrated electronics.
Selected communication type
AFT200-D80-EC is the EtherCAT hardware configuration of the AFT200-D80 family. EtherCAT master with PDO data and manufacturer XML/ESI configuration. Two ports, IN and OUT. Other communication versions are separate products.
Force and torque measurement
Measure three force axes and three torque axes for robot-wrist measurement, tool-weight compensation, force-control development, teaching and contact-aware automation. AIDIN lists nominal ranges of 200 N and 15 Nm, force resolution of 0.15 N, torque resolution of 0.015 Nm and a maximum sampling rate of 1,000 Hz. The permitted simultaneous loads follow the manufacturer loading envelope; resolution is not an accuracy specification.
Electronics and data
The all-in-one sensor integrates its signal electronics, so an additional external amplifier is not required. The manufacturer documents IMU data and bias/control functions; available channels, commands and update rates depend on interface and firmware. EtherCAT master with PDO data and manufacturer XML/ESI configuration.
Power, protection and installation
The current EtherCAT manual specifies 12 V DC operation and IP65 ingress protection. The body diameter is 80 mm. Match ethercat master with pdo data and manufacturer xml/esi configuration. Confirm the robot/tool flange, combined load envelope, 12 V DC wiring, cable routing, bias procedure and applicable software for the supplied revision. Installation and commissioning require a qualified integrator; general robot-wrist suitability does not establish a complete plug-and-play robot integration.
Package and procurement
1.5 m cable listed; power-injection hardware and supply to confirm. The quote confirms the exact sensor revision, power and cable package, brackets/adapters, calibration documentation and delivery requirements. Robot arms, tools, computers and controllers are separate unless expressly included.
Revision and operating requirements
Use the drawing and manual supplied for the ordered revision. Older brochures and current manuals differ on sensor height, overload limits and temperature range; the supplied revision must be confirmed before integration. The current manuals list a 10-50 C operating range. Use the application-specific combined-load diagram and allow the recommended warm-up before collecting measurements.

FAQ
Which AFT200 interface should I choose?
Choose Ethernet (AFT200-D80-EN) for the documented TCP/IP and UDP data path, CAN (AFT200-D80-C) for a CAN controller, or EtherCAT (AFT200-D80-EC) for an EtherCAT master. These are separate hardware configurations. Confirm the required protocol, controller and software before ordering.
Do all versions use the same power and cabling?
No. The current manuals specify 5 V DC for CAN and 12 V DC for Ethernet and EtherCAT. The CAN manual lists a 3 m cable; the Ethernet and EtherCAT manuals list 1.5 m cables and describe their power-injection arrangement. Confirm the complete cable, power and adapter package in the quote; do not assume a generic PoE supply is suitable.
What do the 200 N and 15 Nm ratings mean?
The manufacturer lists nominal force and torque ranges of 200 N and 15 Nm. Combined loading reduces the permitted operating envelope; the limits are not simultaneously available on every axis. Resolution figures are separate from accuracy. Follow the applicable loading diagram for the selected sensor revision.
Will it connect directly to my robot?
AFT200 is intended for robot-wrist force sensing, but a named robot or controller is not automatically a complete supported installation. Share the robot model, flange geometry, controller, communication path, tool and intended loads. Brackets, cables, software and commissioning must be checked for that setup.
Which hardware revision and specifications apply?
The order is scoped to the exact AFT200-D80 part number and supplied revision. Current online manuals differ from older brochures on height, overload limits and operating temperature. Confirm the applicable drawing, firmware, calibration information and packing list with the final quote.
How are delivery, quantity and support confirmed?
Request a quote for the selected communication type, quantity, end user and application. AIDIN described a standard lead time of within six weeks after payment confirmation, including delivery, subject to stock, order timing and quantity. Knoxlabs will confirm the current delivery estimate, package and support terms in the quote.
