Sunrise Instruments

A long-established Chinese six-axis force-sensor maker that also builds force-controlled polishing and automotive-test equipment.

Sunrise Instruments (SRI) was founded in 2007, with bases in Nanning and Shanghai and additional offices in Michigan (US), Taiwan, and South Korea. Founder Dr. York Huang graduated from Wayne State University and previously worked at Ford and the crash-test-dummy maker Humanetics. The company builds three product lines around “force measurement and force control”: multi-axis force sensors (six-axis force/torque sensors, joint torque sensors, and others), the iGrinder line of intelligent floating force-controlled polishing equipment, and automotive crash-test sensors. A six-axis force/torque sensor, mounted at a robot arm's wrist or a humanoid's wrist or ankle, tells the controller how much force and torque the end effector is experiencing, forming the basis for force control, assembly, and polishing. As humanoid robots have taken off, the company has released ultra-thin models, and industry reports commonly list it as one of the leading Chinese makers of six-axis force sensors.

ExampleSunrise's M35XX-series six-axis force sensor is only 9.2 millimeters thick, which the company says makes it suitable for fitting inside a humanoid robot's wrist.
