End effectors are the terminal devices mounted on robotic arms to interact with environments and perform specific tasks. As critical components of industrial robots, they directly determine the application scope and efficiency. Modern end effectors integrate mechanics, electronics, and materials science to achieve precise manipulation, measurement, or processing in automated production lines, significantly improving productivity and product quality.
| Type | Functional Characteristics | Application Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanical Grippers | Use mechanical jaws for object grasping with adjustable force control | Automotive assembly lines for engine component handling |
| Vacuum Suction Cups | Utilize negative pressure to handle flat/smooth surfaces | Food packaging for fragile items like eggs or glass bottles |
| Welding Torches | Provide precise welding with integrated wire feeders | Automotive body welding (MIG/TIG processes) |
| Painting Spray Guns | Ensure uniform coating with flow rate control | Aerospace component surface treatment |
| Sensor Probes | Perform dimensional measurement and surface inspection | Quality control in semiconductor manufacturing |
Typical end effectors consist of: - Outer Housing: Made from aluminum alloys or composite materials for lightweight durability - Actuation Mechanism: Electric motors, pneumatic cylinders, or hydraulic systems - Working Interface: Replaceable tips or contact surfaces (e.g., tungsten carbide for cutting tools) - Sensors: Force/torque sensors, proximity switches, or vision systems - Control Interface: Digital/analog I/O ports or fieldbus communication modules (e.g., CANopen)
| Parameter | Description | Importance |
|---|---|---|
| Load Capacity | Maximum weight handling (0.1-50 kg range) | Ensures operational safety and structural integrity |
| Positioning Accuracy | 0.01 to 0.2 mm tolerance | Determines product quality consistency |
| Operating Speed | 0.5-3 m/s linear motion | Affects production cycle time |
| Environmental Resistance | IP54-IP67 protection rating | Guarantees reliability in harsh conditions |
| Interface Compatibility | Support for ROS, PLC protocols, or EtherCAT | Enables system integration flexibility |
| Manufacturer | Representative Product | Key Features |
|---|---|---|
| ABB | FlexPicker IRB 360 | Delta robot with vision-guided picking system |
| FANUC | ROBOT M-20iD/25 | 6-axis welding end effector with AI-based seam tracking |
| SCHUNK | PGN-plus P gripping system | High-precision parallel gripper with 0.02mm repeatability |
| OnRobot | RG6 adaptive gripper | Plug-and-play electric gripper with software SDK |
| Piab | piGRIP vacuum system | Energy-efficient suction for porous materials |
Key considerations include: - Task requirements: Grasping force (N), operating temperature range (-10 C to 80 C) - Environmental factors: Dust/water protection needs - Integration compatibility: Robot arm interface standards (e.g., ISO 9409-1) - Maintenance costs: Tool wear rate and spare parts availability - Future scalability: Modular design for function upgrades
Emerging trends include: - Smart Integration: Embedded AI chips for real-time adaptive control - Multi-functionality: Modular end effectors combining gripping, sensing, and processing - Collaborative Design: Soft robotics for safe human-robot interaction - Eco-design: Energy recovery systems and recyclable materials - Remote Monitoring: IoT-enabled predictive maintenance capabilities
