Force Dimension Introduces a New Edition of Its delta.x Family of Haptic Devices
Nyon, Switzerland, October 27, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Force Dimension announced today that the delta.3 and delta.6 haptic products have received a major update. The new enhancements expand both the performance and usability of the devices by integrating the results of Force Dimension's most recent developments in actuation, kinematic design and control technologies.
The new delta.x series features many innovative refinements, including an upgraded actuation mechanism that dramatically increases the overall transparency of the system while efficiently reducing the perceived inertia. The new design further enhances the overall mechanical stiffness, and therefore augments the dynamic bandwidth of the system, allowing for haptic rendering of extremely hard materials and surfaces. The new devices also include Force Dimension's hybrid gravity compensation system that combines passive and active elements with an automatic self-calibration procedure performed on each device for achieving perfect gravity compensation.
Every new delta.x comes with a stand-alone USB 2.0 controller that is fully compatible with the recently introduced Force Dimension Haptics SDK and Robotics SDK. The new controller is a key element in exposing a uniform user interface and programming interface for all Force Dimension haptic products, making development of versatile and reliable touch-enabled applications easier than ever. Software drivers for the new delta.x are available on a wide range of platforms including Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and QNX, in both 32- and 64-bits editions.
