End-Effectors, Inc.

Giving Robots a Hand

Whatever you may choose to call them...Robotic Blades, Robotic Hands, Spatulas, End of Arm Tooling (EOAT), Paddle, or End-Effectors; providing the interface between intelligent robots and the products being handled is the role played by End-Effectors, Inc. The technology of capture, hold and move seem trivial at first glance. However, when dealing with sensitive products, low contamination levels, high speed operations and harsh environments, the problems become formidable.

Using ceramic materials and proprietary and patented technology End-Effectors, Inc. has provided solutions for many of the world's leading manufacturers and continues to develop both technology and capability for its world wide customer base.
