Custom strain gauge sensor systems in agricultural robotics are helping OEMs to revolutionise the farming sector. Providing new levels of insight and control, a custom strain gauge sensor system takes the efficiency of agricultural robotic equipment to new heights.
In the process, customers unlock the ability to optimise their processes, improve proft margins, and significantly reduce wastage.
The agricultural robotics sector is on the cusp of a major boom in popularity – a time of intense competition and enormous opportunity. By using custom strain gauge sensor systems to optimise product performance, OEMs can stand above and beyond the competition, and win significant market share in the process.
Customised sensor systems are essential for the safe, efficient, and accurate operation of industrial cobots.
When robots and humans work side by side, it is essential that the cobot has a clear, real-time understanding of its environment and its internal operations. The data collected by custom strain gauge systems allows cobots to collaborate with humans in a way that maximises productivity and minimises the chance of accidental injury.
Humans are essentially unpredictable, which means any cobot must be able to respond quickly and effectively to the activities of humans around them.
From detecting unexpected forces and stresses to reacting to unexpected collisions or controlling the amount of force applied during gripping and manipulation tasks, they are essential for keeping workers safe.

Medical robotics is a field that requires precision, safety, and efficiency. A robot’s performance can have a significant impact on both a patient’s comfort and the efficiency of their treatment.
In this field, custom strain gauge sensor systems allow OEMs to build medical robots that last longer, work with more dexterity, and respond more effectively to their environment.
As medical robots continue to grow in popularity, these finely tuned sensor systems help OEMs stand out from the competition – and give them the chance to lead the next phase of the market’s evolution.
Customized strain gauge sensors play a crucial role in optimizing mobile robotic applications, particularly in sectors like manufacturing, warehousing, and logistics. As industries increasingly adopt autonomous robots to streamline operations, these sensors offer tailored solutions to meet the specific needs of Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) applications.
Despite limited space challenges in AGVs and AMRs, our engineers excel in designing load cells that function efficiently. Moreover, customized sensors provide flexibility in output signals and interfaces, ensuring seamless integration into diverse systems. With a wide range of protective solutions available, these sensors operate reliably in various conditions, enhancing efficiency and safety in mobile robotic environments.
From optimizing production processes in manufacturing to facilitating material movement in warehouses, strain gauge sensors contribute to the success of autonomous robots across different sectors, driving innovation and productivity.
You’ve honed every component of your robot or cobot and now your sensors receive the same treatment. Finite element analysis helps us simulate sensor performance under a wide range of loads and conditions – allowing you to build a sensor that’s accurate, reliable, and cost-effective.
Once an Imagineer has identified an opportunity for a ‘smart’ product, the OEM typically wants the development of custom sensors to proceed very rapidly. You need a partner with a deep understanding of your application, and HBK experts can actively contribute and advise on fundamental sensor system design.
We recently interviewed Ashley Sturgeon, HBK OEM Custom Sensor design engineer, about robotics applications. We talked about design methods as well as the concerns and challenges that today's robotics engineers may encounter.
In this exclusive interview, Cecelia Zhen, HBK OEM Custom Sensor design engineer, explores the transformative power of cobot sensors and their role in reshaping human-machine interaction across various industries, from healthcare to agriculture.
