Material Handling End of Arm Tooling

General

Material Handling End of Arm Tooling (EOAT), or end effector, is manipulated through programmed sequences to perform specific part handling and transfer functions. Typically, the robot controller will control the gripper clamps using digital Input / Output (I/O) modules. Each material handling EOAT is made for a specific application.

Major Components

The Material Handling End of Arm Tooling (EOAT) features the following internal components.

Item Description Function
A Pneumatic Air Panel Controls the pneumatics for the material handler. Also sends and receives signals to the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC).
B Shot Pin The shot pins on the Material Handling End of Arm Tooling allow for the accurate and controlled placement of the parts. When the robot picks up the part, the part must have each shot pin inserted into the locating holes.
C Tunkers Clamp Secures the part during the transportation of the part.
