An end effector – or end-of-arm-tooling (EOAT) – is a peripheral device that attaches to a robot’s wrist. The end effector allows the robot to interact with its task. Most end effectors are mechanical ...

Specific actuators are often mounted on transport systems such as robotic arms and gantries. This paper details the capabilities and properties that ensure your next application will deliver the goods ...

(A) Robotic arm for positioning the hybrid active–passive force control end-effector (HFCE) to the target scanned surface of the patient. (B) Flowchart of the working principle of the HFCE. Recent ...

Though it’s the robot arms and architecture that get most of the attention, the end effectors (or end-of-arm tooling) is where the action happens…or doesn’t happen if the end effector can’t adapt to ...

Patent-pending, compact device mounts directly to most cobots, and seamlessly integrates with many common cobot marketplace grippers and end-effectors. ATI INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION introduced the MC-50 ...

Motors and end effectors come in many shapes and sizes but, compared to actuators that focus on position control, end effectors commonly also integrate force sensing to ensure that objects being ...
