Fully customized EOAT built with SLS from CAD data

摘要

Demanding automation functions involving intricate parts often call for a mix of off-the-shelf and custom end-of-arm-tooling(EOAT)components,making installation,operation,and repairs time consuming and difficult.Using a rapid prototyping process and selective laser sintering(SLS)of polyamide,ATS creates lightweight,flexible,and durable EOAT built from a part's CAD data for a perfect fit,instead of attempting to manipulate an off-the-shelf gripper,or creating one from heavier material in an imprecise process.
