Robot End-of-Arm-Tooling (EOAT) also known as end effectors, is the equipment that interacts with parts and components at the end of a robotic arm. The EOAT gives a robot a specific functionality and can be changed to fit different applications or even be built to accommodate several processes at once. EOAT are crucial for unleashing the automation potential of industrial robots. One could even say that there will be no automation advantages without at least one EOAT.
There are many different types of EOAT for robots: grippers, welding torches, force-torque sensors, material removal tools, collision sensors, tool changers and more. They’re powered electrically, hydraulically, mechanically or pneumatically. Among all types of EOAT, grippers and welding torches are most commonly implemented, we expert both.
Welding robots mainly depends on the types and methods of welding on the part. Its collaboration mainly involves using a specific fixture jig or mold to hold the pieces of part into one fixed position.
Grippers rely heavily on its mechanical precision and function. Robots with grippers are normally installed to handle pick-and-place operation, palletizing system, handle (centering & orienting) and transfer WIP goods, and more. We specialized in producing quality medium to heavy duty robot grippers for more than 18 years of experience. Our past successful grippers include carton clamp gripper, carton double clamp gripper, sand bag gripper, pallet gripper, vacuum gripper, water bottle gripper, glove former mold gripper, and many more. We also have extensive experience on custom designed grippers, by providing us sufficient samples and complete list of specifications for product to be handled, maximum payload, etc. we can design for you.
