Force Dimension Omega 6 Haptic Device

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.

The Haptic SDK provides full access of the wrist orientation as either joint angle values or as a rotation matrix expressed in Cartesian space. The position of device end-effector is provided in Cartesian coordinates.

The combination of full gravity compensation and driftless calibration contributes to greater user comfort and accuracy of the device. The omega.6 comes in either left- or right-hand configuration and leverages all translational force feedback capabilities of the omega.3.

 

 

Work space: ∅ 160 x 110 mm
