End Effector

« Back to Glossary Index

In the manufacturing industry, an end effector is a device that is attached to the end of a robotic arm or other automated machinery. Its purpose is to manipulate or interact with the materials or products being manufactured. End effectors can take many forms, depending on the specific application. Some common types include grippers, suction cups, and specialized tools for cutting, welding, or painting.

End effectors are an essential component of modern manufacturing processes, as they allow for precise and efficient handling of materials and products. By automating tasks that would otherwise require human intervention, end effectors can increase productivity, reduce labor costs, and improve product quality. They can also improve workplace safety by reducing the risk of injury from repetitive or hazardous tasks.
