Xense Photon Visuotactile Sensor
Xense Photon is a planar visuotactile sensor: optical imaging of a 2–5 mm flexible layer gives 0.03 mm spatial resolution, 0.02 N resultant-force accuracy and 0.06 mm deformation-field accuracy over a 17.5 × 29.5 mm sensing area, sampled at 30–150 Hz over UVC, from 5 V at 0.6 W, in a 52.8 × 27 × 22 mm body.

Grasping and manipulation
52.8 × 27 × 22 mm body with a 17.5 × 29.5 mm sensing area and slip detection fits a gripper finger.
Engineering inferenceNo-load speed, rated performance and stall limits describe different operating points. A stall specification is not a continuous operating rating.

Specifications
Motor performance
No-load, rated-load and stall figures retain their separate test conditions.
Stall torque and current are not continuous ratings. Check the duty cycle and starting load when choosing the driver and power supply.
Thermal limits by level
Product operating conditions, chip ambient ratings, package case limits and junction maxima remain separate.
