Mini45
The ATI Mini45 is a compact 6-axis force/torque sensor from ATI Industrial Automation (Novanta), part of the Mini series. Designed for small-payload industrial and research robots, it offers an exceptional resolution-to-range ratio. The sensor communicates via Ethernet (ATI Net F/T) or analog output and is compatible with Beckhoff, Bosch Rexroth, KUKA controllers and ROS systems.

Which group Mini45 belongs to and how it is built
A Force Torque Sensor measures linear forces and rotational torques at a single measurement point. In robotics, it is particularly important in manipulators, robot wrists, grippers, and human–robot collaboration systems. It enables force control, contact detection, load monitoring, and improved safety and manipulation precision. Sensors of this type are widely used in assembly, laboratory, and research applications.
