1. Safety
The safety section describes general safety guidelines to be followed with this product, explanations of the
notications found in this manual, and safety precautions that apply to the product. Product specic notications
are imbedded within the sections of this manual (where they apply).
1.1 ExplanationofNotications
These notications are used in all of ATI manuals and are not specic to this product. The user should heed
all notications from the robot manufacturer and/or the manufacturers of other components used in the
installation.
DANGER: Noticationofinformationorinstructionsthatifnotfollowedwillresultin
deathorseriousinjury.Thenoticationprovidesinformationaboutthenatureofthe
hazardoussituation,theconsequencesofnotavoidingthehazard,andthemethodfor
avoidingthesituation.

noticationcanemphasize,butisnotlimitedto:specicgreasetypes,bestoperatingpractices,
and maintenance tips.
1.2 General Safety Guidelines
The customer should verify that the sensor selected is rated for maximum loads and torques expected during
operation. Because static forces are less than the dynamic forces from the acceleration or declaration of the
robot, be aware of the dynamic loads caused by the robot.
1.3 Safety Precautions
WARNING:Performingmaintenanceorrepaironthesensorwhencircuits(for
example:power,water,andair)areenergizedcouldresultindeathorseriousinjury.
Dischargeandverifyallenergizedcircuitsarede-energizedinaccordancewiththe
customer’ssafetypracticesandpolicies.
CAUTION:Ensurethecableshieldisproperlygrounded.Impropershieldingonthe
cablescancausecommunicationerrorsandaninoperativeATIF/Tsensor.

2. Overview
This manual provides an overview of the ATI F/T Axia kits compatible with a UR CB-series robot and procedures
to set-up the ATI URCaps software. For programming the ATI URCaps software and demo programs, refer to the
9610-05-1041 manual. The ATI URCaps software enables the customer to use a UR robot with an ATI Ethernet
Force/Torque (F/T) sensor.
F/T sensors convert sensed loads from forces and torques into electrical signals. The F/T sensor provides data to
the robot. This data is the six DoF (degrees of freedom): Fx \ Fy \ Fz\ Tx\ Ty\ Tz . UR robots have algorithms to
use force feedback to control robot motion. By using plug-in technology, the ATI URCaps software allows a user to
input data from an ATI sensor into UR algorithms.
The customer drawing (ATI P/N 9230-05-1507) for the sensor is available on the ATI website: https://www.ati-ia.
com/app_content/Documents/9230-05-1507.auto.pdf.
Communicating with the sensor and UR CB-series robot requires a knowledge of Ethernet protocol, and how to
operate the UR CB-series teach pendant interface Polyscope. For more information about UR products, refer to
https://www.universal-robots.com/support/. For more information on the ATI F/T sensors, refer to the
following table:

5. On the left side, select F/T Sensor.
6. In the F/T SensorAddress eld, type the IP address of the sensor: for example, 192.168.1.1
NOTICE: ATIshipsthesensorwithadefaultIPaddress:192.168.1.1.However,theusermust
setthesensortoanIPaddressonthesamelocalsubnetastheURCB-seriesrobot.For

• ATIF/TEthernetsensor,refertotheapplicablemanualinTable 2.1.
• Robot,refertotheapplicableURmanual.
7. Leave blank or keep the default value in the F/T Sensor Baud Rate eld. This eld is ignored when
using an Ethernet sensor with an IP address.
8. On the bottom of the screen, type the information for the following elds: Sensor Mass, Sensor
Measuring Oset, and Sensor Center of Gravity.
• In parenthesis, ATI includes recommended values next to the Sensor Measuring Oset and Sensor
Center of Gravity elds. Use dierent values, if using a custom mounting interface plate.

4.4 DeterminingtheToolingMassandO󰀨set
CAUTION:Donotenterthefollowingdefaultvaluesintotherobotcontrollerwithout
accountingforthetoolingmassbyusingthefollowingequations.Failuretoaccountfor
thetoolingmassando󰀨setreducestheperformanceoftheURrobot.Properlyaccount
forthecustomertooling,whensettingupthetoolcenterpointorTCP.
Determining the tooling mass and oset depends upon the system conguration: sensor type, interface plate
characteristics, and the customer tooling. The following sections explain how to calculate the mass and
oset for two scenarios: a sensor with only a mounting interface plate or a sensor with mounting and tool
interface plates.
4.4.1 ToolingMassandO󰀨setforaSensorandMountingInterfacePlate
The ATI provided F/T sensor and mounting interface plate have the following mass characteristics,
measuring oset, and CG with no customer tooling installed (for more information, refer to the
customer drawing):

Figure 4.15—Equations
Where:
Center of Gravity (CG):
The point of a mass around which the resultant torque from gravity forces is zero.
Customer’s Center of Gravity in the X, Y, Z Direction:
The distance in mm from the F/T sensor’s sensing reference frame origin (refer to
the customer drawing) to the center of gravity of the customer’s tooling.
This should include the mass and location of all customer-provided fasteners and not
ATI-provided parts.
The location of a center of gravity can be found in most CAD packages used to
design robot tooling.
Customer’s Tooling Mass:
The mass of the customer’s tooling that includes all fasteners not provided by ATI, in
kilograms.
F/T Mass:
The mass of the F/T sensor including the interface plate and all hardware required to
connect the F/T sensor to the robot.
The F/T mass does not include any hardware the customer uses to mount
tooling to the F/T sensor.
