Development of a low cost two axis force sensor

This paper presents a low cost smart two axis force sensor with Analog-to-Digital (RS232 and SPI) interfaces, especially suitable for measuring low and moderate forces. A mechanical structure is made by rapid prototyping machine. Pair of resistive sensor is used for each axis. A computer contro...
