End of Arm Tooling

You need a partner who understands how to make great end of arm tooling for your robots—someone with all the skillsets in house and not someone so big that the engineers are hidden behind management and salespeople. Invent Automation is an expert in all things end of arm tooling. From complex sensor and gripper integration to added axis at the tooling, and never forgetting to consider dress pack weights and moment loads, we live and breathe this world every day.

You need engineers and inventors knowledgeable in:

1. Designing light weight tooling that gets the job done
2. A wide variety of sensors and grippers
3. Incorporation of remote IO blocks and other cable management systems
4. Proper integration of dress pack kits and cable carriers
5. Robot simulation, cycle time studies and validating inertia and moment loads are considered properly

Common pitfalls of end of arm tooling designs that we ensure you don’t fall into:

1. Not considering dress pack weights on the robot
2. Only looking at the weight of the tooling and not inertia and individual joint loads
3. Not considering cable and hose weights

We’ve been to hundreds of plants and seen thousands of projects. We’ve rescued others failed end of arm tooling projects, learned from others' mistakes, made some of our own, and know what it takes to make great end of arm tooling.

Our cutting-edge robotic systems start with a phone call and a visit where we listen, throw around crazy ideas, and ask “what if” together. It’s a lot of fun compared to the daily grind. But we don’t prescribe before diagnosing. We seek to understand the drivers and business results that warrant the investment in robotics. You want a bespoke automated solution tailored to your needs, and it must deliver business results on time so you can make a return on your investment. We know it’s not about deploying a particular technology or brand; it’s all about achieving your business goal.

Your crazy idea might work. We exist to Invent Automation. Call, email, or chat with us here and talk to an inventor who gets it, so your robots can get built and you can get that win.
