Hi Benson,

As far as I know, the Meca 500 is not equipped with internal force sensors (correct me if I'm wrong).
Therefore, you will need to add an external force sensor between the flange and the tool. Do you have something in mind?

But yes, I do believe it's possible to achieve that using the API.
