Robot Grippers
A robot gripper is an end-effector or sometimes called end-of-arm tooling that is used on industrial robots for material handling, e.g., grasping, holding, lifting, moving and controlling materials. Robot grippers are very important tools because without it, industrial robot cannot be used in material handling application. Robot gripping system is meant to replace human hands because they are very good for repetitive cycles, handling heavy loads, and operate under extreme temperatures and environments where human hands cannot operate. Since robot gripping system is usually custom designed for its particular applications, utmost importance should be given to EOAT while designing.
