ROBOTIC TOOLING AND END-OF-ARM TOOLING
CUSTOM-BUILT ROBOTIC TOOLS FOR INDUSTRY ROBOTS
ETI352 specializes in creating a variety of custom robot tools for industrial clients, frequently related to end-of-line solutions.
We manage the complete lifecycle of producing robotic tools and End-of-Arm Tools, encompassing requirement specification, manufacturing, and on-site implementation.
Our expertise includes developing robot tools as independent solutions or within broader integrated robot and automation projects.
CUSTOMIZE ROBOT TOOLS AND END-OF-ARM TOOLING CREATE A SIGNIFICANT OPERATIONAL IMPACT
At ETI352, our extensive in-house experience in developing and producing robot tools is utilized across various industries, including the food sector.
▪ Vacuum suction, also known as a vacuum gripper or tool, or suction gripper, is ideal for managing various types of items including cardboard boxes of all kinds, WA cartons, wrapped, vacuum-sealed, and closed boxes, as well as bags.
▪ A shovel gripper, also referred to as a spade tool or sliding hand, is appropriate for handling cardboard boxes, trays, and plastic boxes.
▪ A bag gripper, or sack gripper, is specifically designed for handling bags, which are typically made from paper or plastic.
▪ Lastly, a box gripper is suitable for handling trays, plastic boxes, internal storage containers, and SRS boxes.
We select the optimal technology for your specific needs.
Robot tools or end effectors—also known as End of Arm Tooling (EOAT) or robot grippers—are essential for automated robotic arm operations. These components are attached to the end of the robot arm to grip, manipulate, or process various materials and objects.
Our robot grippers are available in a variety of designs to suit diverse operational needs, including:
▪ Vacuum grippers: These utilize vacuum force to pick up and lift items with smooth surfaces, like glass or sheets.
▪ Mechanical grippers: These feature mechanical jaws, fingers, or claws to hold objects of various shapes and sizes.
▪ Magnetic grippers: These use magnetic forces to handle metallic objects, such as steel sheets.
▪ Pneumatic grippers: These are powered by compressed air, allowing them to grip objects with varying shapes and sizes.
▪ Hydraulic grippers: These operate using hydraulic power, ideal for applications that require robust gripping strength.
▪ Electric grippers: These use electric motors for gripping, providing precise movements and positioning.
The choice of gripper technology is guided by the application’s specific requirements, including the object's shape, size, weight, surface type, and operational speed. Hydraulic and electric grippers are popular choices, each powered differently: hydraulic grippers for their powerful load-handling capability and electric grippers for their precision and control.
Selecting the appropriate robot gripper is crucial as it significantly affects the efficiency, accuracy, and reliability of the automated production process.
At ETI352, we are ready to help you find the right solution.
