Grippers

Grippers are tools that are used to hold or grasp objects. They are often used in manufacturing, assembly and packaging applications. EOAT is a broader term that refers to any tool that is attached to the end of a robotic arm. This includes grippers, but also other tools such as welding torches, cutting tools, and vision systems.

There are a variety of grippers and EOAT available on the market, each with their own unique features and benefits. When choosing a gripper or EOAT, it is important to consider the following factors:

  • The type of object that will be gripped or manipulated
  • The size and weight of the object
  • The force that is required to grip or manipulate the object
  • The environment in which the gripper or EOAT will be used

Here are some of the benefits of using grippers and EOAT:

  • Increased productivity: Grippers and EOAT can help to increase productivity by automating tasks that would otherwise be performed manually.
  • Improved accuracy: Grippers and EOAT can help to improve accuracy by providing a consistent and repeatable grip or manipulation.
