Additively Manufactured Robotic End-of-Arm Tools feat. Savage Automation
The use of additive manufacturing (AM) in the robotics and industrial automation industry is becoming more prevalent every day. Material handling solutions are highly customized to the end user and AM can be used to complement and address many of the shortcomings of traditional manufacturing methods like machining and pre-fab framing. End-of-arm tooling (EOAT) is just one of the many applications that can benefit greatly from AM through lightweighting, part consolidation, customization, cost reduction, and time to market. In this 20-min session, we will address the following:
- Why AM makes sense for robotic EOAT
- Benefits and limitations of AM
- How to combine AM with off-the-shelf components
- See real-world examples of additively manufactured EOAT
