Technical details and manufacturing context for End-Effector (Gripper/Tool)
| Parameter | Typical range | Notes & selection driver |
|---|---|---|
| Gripper Type | 2-Finger Parallel | Select based on workpiece shape and handling requirements |
| Stroke per Finger | 10–50 mm | Determines maximum workpiece size range |
| Gripping Force | 20–200 N | Must exceed workpiece weight and acceleration forces |
| Repeatability | ±0.02–±0.05 mm | Critical for precise assembly tasks |
| Operating Pressure | 4–8 bar | Below 4 bar gripping force may be insufficient |
| Operating Temperature | -10–60 °C | Outside range may affect seals and materials |
| Ingress Protection | IP54–IP65 | IP65 for dusty or wet environmentsIEC 60529 |
| Supply Voltage | 24 ±10% V DC | For electric grippers with integrated control |
| Weight | 0.5–5 kg | Affects robot payload capacity |
| Material | Aluminum/Steel | Aluminum for lightweight, steel for high wear resistance |

An end-effector is the component mounted on the robot's wrist that directly interacts with workpieces or tools. It can be a gripper, suction cup, or specialized tool, enabling the robot to pick, place, hold, orient, and assemble parts. Its design is tailored to specific assembly tasks, affecting the station's efficiency and flexibility.
Selection depends on the workpiece shape, size, weight, and handling requirements. For example, a 2-finger parallel gripper is suitable for parts with parallel surfaces. Consider the required stroke per finger (10–50 mm) and gripping force (20–200 N) to ensure the gripper can handle the workpiece without damage. Always verify with the manufacturer for specific models.
Typical parameters include operating pressure (4–8 bar), operating temperature (-10 to 60 °C), ingress protection (IP54–IP65 per IEC 60529), and supply voltage (24 V DC ±10% for electric grippers). Repeatability is ±0.02–±0.05 mm, and weight ranges from 0.5–5 kg. These are reference ranges; confirm with the supplier for your specific model.
Repeatability ensures that the end-effector can position parts consistently within a small tolerance, typically ±0.02–±0.05 mm. This is critical for precise assembly tasks where parts must align accurately. Poor repeatability can lead to assembly errors, reduced quality, and increased scrap rates.
