Robotic Carton Clamp Tool Saves Development Time

The EOAT standard clamp tool is designed to increase efficiency and decrease production time. It is pre-engineered, simple to set up, and allows for multiple configurations and accessories. It handles boxes, crates, and trays, and has a payload of up to 110 lb (with lift assist).

The clamp ensures reliability along with minimal maintenance. It is truly plug n play set up. The clamping width is adjustable from 250 to 625 mm. There are part present sensors to ensure the product is handled safely every time. A stable grip is assured with the high friction clamp plates made of a rubber lining.

To complete the clamp tool to your own specifications, there are several options. A valve package can be configured for either discrete I/O or Ethernet for your communication requirements. A lift assist option provides additional support and faster robotic movements, it increases your payload by 10 kg. There is a robot mounting riser so the robot’s reach can be adjusted higher or lower, depending on the pallet height and placement. A teach pointer allows the robot to reference auxiliary equipment. The pallet hook option allows the tool to pick and place pallets of various types. The pallet hook and slip sheet system allows for managing the pallets and pick and place slip sheets between the layers with Piab Coax vacuum technology and suction cups.
