About

About Bota MiniONE Gen A (USB)

Bota MiniONE Gen A USB is a miniature six-axis force and torque sensor for robot wrists, grippers and test rigs. The 30-gram cylindrical unit measures 30 millimetres in diameter and 23.2 millimetres high, using a USB virtual COM port for connection to a host computer or controller.

Its measurement ranges are ±80 newtons on Fx and Fy, ±100 newtons on Fz, and ±1.5 newton-metres on all three torque axes. Sampling reaches 800 hertz, with low-latency protocol support and software drivers for C++, Python and ROS. The sensor operates from 0 to 55 degrees Celsius, tolerates fine dust and water jets, and can withstand immersion to one metre for 30 minutes.
