EOAT for robots picks up variety of shapes
Multi-function, robotic end-of-arm tooling, designed specifically for packaging and palletising applications, can pick and place a wide variety of shapes, bags, boxes and bottles.
The gripper and cylinder assemblies are mounted on a bearing rail to help support the load of the part being pulled from the mold.
The 30mm stripper stroke has adjustment capabilities by increasing or decreasing the cylinder pin to fit any size application.
To relieve stress on the robot the stripper stroke is retracted to release the part off of the mold before removing the tool and part from the mold.
This GRZ has a custom mounting bracket to allow for a perpendicular or parallel mount to accommodate for a specific application.
