In modern industrial automation, maximum precision and flexibility are the name of the game. Production processes must be efficient, reliable and adaptable in order to meet the increasing demands on quality, costs and productivity. This is where end-of-arm tooling (EOAT) comes into play; it is the solution for automated material transport, assembly, packaging and many other applications.
Festo offers innovative solutions for end-of-arm tooling that are customised to the specific needs of your industry. Discover our comprehensive portfolio and get advice from our experts.
End-of-arm tooling includes all pneumatic grippers and tools that are mounted on a robot hand, on an axis system or a handling system in order to grip, move or process objects.
EOAT solutions and end effectors from Festo are modular, precise and energy-efficient. They can be flexibly adapted to various applications in industrial automation. Festo is your cross-technology partner, from mechanical grippers, whether pneumatic or electric, to vacuum suction cups. Our expertise also covers the complete automation pyramid.
There are pneumatic grippers, electric grippers and vacuum grippers; they are used depending on the material, weight and application.
EOAT makes robots and handling systems versatile and increases efficiency in production, assembly, packaging and logistics by precisely handling workpieces.
Modular grippers can be individually adapted to different workpieces and processes by using flexibly configurable components.
Pneumatic grippers are fast, sturdy and cost-efficient when handling workpieces. They are particularly suitable for high-speed applications in manufacturing and assembly.
Festo optimises the automation of storage and conveyor processes with intelligent pneumatic grippers, vacuum technology and robot peripherals.
EOAT is used in the automotive industry, electronics production, food processing, medical technology and agriculture.
