Abstract :
This paper presents experimental results on the use of strain-gage load cells for the purpose of measuring the location of objects in the workspace of industrial robots. The measuring method and its realization steps are described. Data acquisition, signal conditioning, and interface with computers are addressed, and information about the hardware and software is given. Factors affecting the accuracy of the load cell method are discussed and recommendations are given.
