  • What are End Effectors and Why are they So Important in Robotics?
    The end effector (also referred to as end-of-arm tooling) is one of, if not the, most important component in a robotic arm. Without the end effector, a robotic arm is essentially useless. Whether it 's a gripper, welding torch, camera, or something else entirely, end effectors are the component
  • What Makes a Robot a Cartesian Robot?
    First, a Cartesian system is one that moves in three, orthogonal axes - X, Y, and Z - according to the Cartesian coordinates. (Although it should be noted that a rotary axis - in the form of an end effector or end of arm tooling - is sometimes included on the outermost axis of a Cartesian robot.)

  • Top 10 Questions to Ask When Choosing an EOAT
    Without the proper end-of-arm tooling (EOAT), robotics adds little value to a production process. In fact, choosing the wrong EOAT can increase downtime and drive down productivity. Here are the essential EOAT solution questions to ask to ensure you choose an EOAT that maximizes your production

    ARM ponders a four-processor core While stressing that his paper at the Multiprocessing System-on-Chip (MPSOC) conference discussed a research project, John Goodacre, multiprocessing core manager at ARM Ltd. (Cambridge, England), disclosed some of the thinking at the company. Tool vendors mulling
  • The Difference Between Cartesian, Six-Axis and SCARA Robots
    of the payload, including any tooling, at the end of the robot arm. What limits SCARA and six-axis robots is that they support loads on extended arms. Consider a machining center that makes bearing assemblies of 100 kg or more. That payload exceeds the capabilities of all but the largest SCARA or six-axis
