Franka Emika Research and Production 3 Robot

Overview:

Franka Emika's robot is agile and sensitive like a human arm, with seven axes, each equipped with a force sensor.

Programming is intuitive and based on workflows, and interaction is seamless.

The system features a user-friendly interface based on apps—encapsulated robot programs. Organize the apps into a sequence. Then teach the robot by demonstration and adjust the parameters.

The suite of software dedicated to research and academia makes it a unique tool on the market.

Impressive performance:

Load and geometry: 855mm radius – 94.5% volume coverage – 3kg load

Movement: Repeatability +/-0.1mm – Path deviation +/-1.25mm

Force measurement sensitivity: Resolution < 0.05N – Accuracy 0.8N – Repeatability < 0.05N

Force application: Minimum controllable force 0.05N at 1kHz

Interaction: Guide force 2N – Collision detection time < 2ms – Nominal collision response time < 50ms

High-quality components:

Position encoders: Resolution 14 bits – Absolute position – Redundancy in connections

Electronic connections: 1kHz communication bus – Highly integrated

Brushless DC motors: High efficiency – No maintenance over lifetime – High speed

Deformation wave gears: High-quality gears (made in Germany) – Excellent positioning accuracy and repeatability

Crossed roller bearings: Robust throughout the robot's lifetime – Lightweight design – High rigidity

Force sensors: 13-bit resolution – Excellent accuracy – High sensitivity
