Overview

A German-made 7-DoF research arm with a torque sensor in every joint and 1 kHz low-level control.

Key specs

Degrees of freedom
7
Payload / reach
3 kg / 855 mm
Repeatability
<±0.1 mm
Sensing
Torque sensor in all 7 joints
Control
1 kHz via Franka Control Interface (FCI); ROS 2, MATLAB/Simulink
Weight / protection
approx. 17.8 kg / IP40

Why it’s in

  • Designed and built in Germany (Munich)
  • Joint torque sensing and 1 kHz control for force-sensitive research
  • Open interfaces (libfranka, franka_ros2, MATLAB)

What bothers us

  • Around €30,000: a lab-budget purchase
  • 3 kg payload and IP40 limit industrial use
  • Franka itself sells only by quote; reseller bundles differ
