FUTEK

What does it really mean for a robotic limb to feel human? In next-generation prosthetics developed with Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), achieving natural movement comes down to precise force feedback. By integrating a compact FUTEK load cell into the actuator, engineers can measure force in real time, enabling smoother gait and a more intuitive connection between user and device. FUTEK will showcase the sensing solutions behind these innovations at Robotics Summit & Expo 2026 in Boston. This includes load cells, torque sensors, multi-axis sensors, and FUTEK's latest line of electronics. Whether you're developing prosthetics, automation systems, or advanced robotics, stop by to explore how FUTEK can support your custom or OEM application. 📍 Booth 444 | Boston Convention Center, Boston, MA  📅 May 27–28 Check out the full application details: https://bit.ly/4sUvrfz

Jenny Science’s Forceteq® Pro system leverages FUTEK’s precision sensors to deliver highly accurate, automated testing. The LSB205 Miniature S‑Beam Jr.® Load Cell was selected for its compact design, wide capacity range, and outstanding durability—rated for 100M+ fatigue cycles. https://lnkd.in/gFnTGAzY Also integrated is the TRS150 Miniature Rotary Torque Sensor, one of the smallest on the market (17 mm × 17 mm). Its ultra-compact size and 1 oz (28 g) weight make it ideal for space-constrained, high-performance applications. https://lnkd.in/gY8nf_tP A great example of how compact, high-performance sensing solutions enable smarter, more efficient system design. #Automation #Sensors #Engineering #TestAndMeasurement #Innovation    

Four weeks to Space Tech 2026 and we're bringing hardware worth the stop. Visit us at Booth 810 for a first look at: → Custom force/torque sensors & electronics solutions built for demanding aerospace environments → Our new digital handheld display engineered for field and integration use → The next generation of our flagship signal amplifiers If you're deep in design iteration or in the middle of a system requirements review, come talk to our Application Engineers. We'll skip the brochure and get into the specs. 📍 Anaheim Convention Center — Anaheim, CA 📅 June 3–4

Traditional signal conditioners can’t always keep up with modern test requirements. Both USB225 High-Speed, High-Resolution USB Signal Conditioners elevate performance with digital resolution, fault detection, and simplified integration, and the USB225 Pro Elite pushes the limits even further. Featuring added performance and automation features, including sampling rates up to 38.4 kSPS, TEDS recognition for automatic sensor setup and calibration, and RTD (PT1000) for external temperature readings and compensation. This chart shows how each model stacks up so you can select the level of performance your application truly needs.

Researchers at the University of Salford (UK) have spent the last decade focused on improving the safety and stability of walking aids for older adults. By integrating FUTEK load cells into walking frames and rollators, researchers captured precise force data directly from the frame legs, helping quantify how users and devices interact during real-world movement. The results of their work led to: 🔹 Develop one of the first methods to objectively measure walking-aid stability (Costamagna et al., 2017) 🔹 Evaluate rollator performance during everyday tasks like turning and navigating obstacles (Costamagna et al., 2019) 🔹 Identify risky behaviors and design limitations in traditional walking frames (Thies et al., 2020) 🔹 Inform the development of Walk Safe®, the first biomechanics-informed walking frame (Thies et al., 2023; 2025) We’re honored that our sensors have played a role in research that directly impacts safer mobility, assistive device innovation, and clinical training guidance used around the world.
