Force Dimension products

The Lambda.7 is the latest haptic device from Force Dimension, designed specifically for OEM applications, such as integration in surgical consoles. This device offers seven active degrees of freedom, including a new wrist configuration with three active degrees, which enhances its compatibility with surgical robot systems. Its unique kinematics structure and superior mechanical stiffness allow for rendering high contact forces at a rate of up to 4 KHz, ensuring precise and repeatable performance. With its finely tuned gravity compensation and real-time USB 2.0 controller, the Lambda.7 provides exceptional haptic transparency and performance. The device is available in both left- and right-hand configurations, suitable for bimanual workstation consoles. Developers can utilize the powerful SDKs offered by Force Dimension for versatile application development in either haptics or robotics modes, supporting multi-threaded and multi-device programming across various platforms.

The Sigma.7 by Force Dimension represents a pinnacle in haptic interface engineering, marked by its innovative redesign featuring a delta base capable of offering seven active degrees of freedom. It's unique in providing high-precision force-feedback grasping, optimized through superior mechanical stiffness, which, alongside its real-time USB 2.0 controller, supports rendering high-contact forces at up to 4 KHz. Designed to deliver exceptional, instinctive interaction for complex applications, it features a remarkable gravity compensation mechanism that maintains haptic transparency in both translation and orientation. Its ergonomic design and enhanced mechanical architecture make it ideal for safety-critical aerospace and medical environments. Notably, Sigma.7 is the only 3D force-feedback device certified for space usage, available in configurations for left or right-handed users, and adaptable for dual workstation setups. Force Dimension extends robust technical support and customization for application-specific end-effectors.

The omega.x family of haptic devices by Force Dimension is recognized for its modular and adaptable design, allowing it to cater to various interaction needs, including translational, rotational, and grasping capabilities. The devices, notably the omega.3, omega.6, and omega.7, are built with precision-engineered components such as polished kinematic links and a robust anodized aluminum frame, ensuring stability and performance. The omega.3 is lauded for its spherical end-effector, providing a symmetrical interface suitable for both left- and right-handed users, enhancing user experience during telemanipulation and complex virtual interactions. The omega.6 enhances functionality with a pen-shaped end-effector, enabling comprehensive wrist movement and efficient decoupling of translation and rotation, supported by a reliable Haptic SDK for precise control. The omega.7 stands out with its active grasping extension, allowing versatile bi-manual teleoperation and generating a substantial grasping force of up to 8 Newtons, making it ideal for intricate manipulation tasks. Each device integrates full gravity compensation and driftless calibration, promoting user comfort and accuracy across applications.

With its unique active grasping extension, the omega.7 is the most versatile haptic device available. Its end-effector covers the natural range of motion of the human hand and is compatible with bi-manual teleoperation console design. The combination of full gravity compensation and driftless calibration contributes to greater user comfort and accuracy. The active gripper can generate a grasping force of up to 8 Newtons in both directions. The omega.7 comes in either left- or right-hand configuration and leverages all translational force feedback capabilities of the omega.3.

The omega.6 haptic device sports a pen-shaped end-effector with a wide range of wrist motion. Building on the omega.x base, its design provides perfect decoupling of translation and rotation movements.
