This will be a 3 part series (Vacuum, Gripper and Lifting technology) from FIPA, End of Arm Tools (aka EOAT).
If you have a robot to pick out parts from the mold it’s essential to have a properly designed EOAT which is the robot’s customized hand to extract your parts and runners.
FIPA specializes in EOAT (suction cups, grippers, cutting shears, lifting) and can customize the design to your specifications.
