A robotic end effector is the device mounted to the robot wrist that performs the task at the point of interaction. End effectors define what a robot can do—gripping, lifting, fastening, finishing, or handling parts—and are selected based on payload, part geometry, surface condition, cycle time, and required process control.
Electromate supplies end effectors designed for collaborative robots and light industrial robots, with an emphasis on electrically driven, software-configurable EOAT.
Grippers
Grippers are used to mechanically, pneumatically, magnetically, or via vacuum hold and move parts. This category includes all gripping technologies offered across collaborative robot applications. Common gripper types include electric finger grippers (parallel, centric, multi-finger), vacuum grippers for flat or porous parts, and magnetic grippers for ferrous materials.
Typical applications:
Pick-and-place
Machine tending
Assembly and kitting
Packaging, palletizing, and depalletizing
Sheet metal handling and destacking
Gripper selection is typically driven by part geometry, weight, surface condition, and required holding force.
Tool Changers
Tool changers allow a robot to switch between multiple end effectors, either manually or automatically, without rewiring or mechanical rework. Common characteristics include mechanical, tool-free coupling, repeatable positioning and support for electrical and I/O pass-through.
Typical applications:
Cells requiring more than one gripper or tool
Flexible automation with frequent changeovers
Multi-process robot workflows
Tool changers are commonly used to reduce downtime and enable scalable automation.
Process Tools
Process tools perform an operation rather than gripping a part. These tools are mounted and controlled like an end effector but are used for tasks such as fastening or surface finishing.
Examples include:
Electric screwdrivers for automated fastening
Sanders for polishing, deburring, and surface finishing
Process tools are typically electrically driven and configured through robot software, eliminating the need for external pneumatic or control systems.
Complete End Effector Configurations
Electromate provides end effectors as configurable automation components, with compatible accessories available alongside the primary tool where supported by the manufacturer.
This can include:
Robot-side and tool-side interfaces
Quick changers and multi-tool configurations
Electrical and I/O pass-through options
Application-specific accessories
This approach supports both single-robot installations and expandable, multi-cell automation.
