Hello all.

I am interested on implement a force control using a robot IRB1600. I have a force sensor from JR3. My questions are the folowing:

1. Do I need to add some extra hardware option to our standard IRB1600?

2. Do I need to ad some extra soft option to our system?

Regards

i think you have to consider taking the force feedback option,  
it comes with a force feedback unit for the arm, the hardware for the irc5 & the software option part..

hope it helps..
