‘Grippers’
A Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
SAS unveils vacuum handling line of robotic EOAT from
SAS Automation, which we summarised at the time by saying "SAS Automation has introduced a vacuum handling system line of robotic end-of-arm tooling (EOAT).".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Schunk exhibits Kontec MTC multi-clamp vice unit from
Schunk Intec: "Schunk is set to exhibit the Kontec MTC multi-clamp vice unit. ".
In September 2008, we covered the news from Festo
- take a look at Festo's pneumatic logic cuts build time
which says: "Oystar Aerofill, a manufacturer of aerosol filling and closing equipment, uses Festo's integrated multi-layer duct plate technology for the pneumatic logic and control functions of its machines. ".
Take a look also at the news release from ATM Automation, Robotic tooling covers all applications,
as well as Ceramic servomotor suits miniaturised applications from Heason Technology,
and Custom grippers come in kit form from SAS Automation.
