   Hi,
 
   I'm working with a robot arm that only moves along a table
   surface.  We want to install a force torque sensor on the 
   wrist.  The standard wrist sensor measures three torques
   and three forces, like for the wrist of an industrial robot. 
   All we need is two forces and one torque.  

   Has anyone an idea if such a sensor exists?  Names of companies
   making force torque sensors would also be helpful.

   Thankx,
		Jeff
