Overview

Seven degrees of freedom with a torque sensor in every joint and a 1 kHz real-time control interface. The FR3 is the arm you buy when the task is contact-rich — insertion, assembly, handling something deformable — and position control alone will not get you there.

Specifications

  • 7 DoF torque-controlled manipulator, 855 mm reach
  • 3 kg payload, position repeatability better than ±0.1 mm
  • Torque sensors integrated in all 7 joints
  • 1 kHz real-time control loop via the Franka Control Interface (FCI)
  • Streams joint position, velocity, torque, external force estimates and contact/collision data at 1 kHz
  • ROS 2 support via franka_ros with MoveIt; open-source libfranka C++ library
  • Desk browser environment for no-code task building
  • 94.5% workspace efficiency; manufactured in Germany

Teleoperation

Pairs with a torque-controlled leader device for force-true demonstration capture — the Station 3 configuration on our teleoperation stations page.
