Robotic Equipment Spotlight: Grippers

If you are integrating an industrial robot and need to pick up or manipulate your product or part, than you most likely will need to use a robotic gripper. The EOAT on robots come in a variety of types, sizes, and configurations. The experts at Robots.com work hard to listen to the specific needs of each customer and then help decide on the best robotic gripper solution, customizing when necessary.

Why Choose Small Industrial Robot Arms

Each production lines has different requirements based on the manufacturing specifications. Some jobs require small industrial robot arms that have a lighter payload and compact work envelopes. For instance, if the part or product weighs less than 20 kg and the distance traveled is less than 1300 mm, than a small industrial robotic arm can be the perfect solution. These arms can handle assembly, machine tending, pick and place, dispensing, and other applications.
