End Effector

The end effector is the device at the end of a robotic arm designed to interact with the environment. It is commonly used for welding, assembly, coating, dispensing, inspection, material handling, and material removal. The end effector allows robots to perform tasks that are dangerous for humans such as spot welding in an assembly line or spray painting for uniformity.

END EFFECTOR

Operation
It originates from serial
robotic manipulators,
the end effector means
the last link (or end) of
the robot.

It is a device at
the end of
a robotic arm,
designed to
interact with
the
environment.
Various Purposes:
• spot welding in an assembly.
• spray painting where uniformity of
painting is necessary.
• other purposes where the working
conditions are dangerous for human
beings.
Applications
1. Welding- spot welding is the most
common application of welding
robots.
2. Assembly- robots are also commonly
used to put things together.
3. Coating- robots that paints or spray
adhesives are most common in many
industries.
Applications
4. Dispensing- another common
application where robots are given what
amounts to a hot glue gun.
5. Inspection- inspection robots use lasers,
vision systems, or another type of
measurement tool as an end effector.
6. Material Handling- range from
palletizers to machine loading and
unloading.
Applications
7. Material Removal- exist in two forms.

8. Other strange applications- robots can


virtually be outfitted with anything that
does not exceed the payload limitation
of the robot.
