Your Robot is Only
as Good as its
End-of-Arm Tool.

In relation to an entire automation project,
the End-of-Arm Tool (EOAT) is one of the most
critical and dynamic aspects.
When it comes
to building a correctly functioning robotic
EOAT gripper, >SAS< offers can supply the
information to enable you to make the most of
your time, money, and effort.

The
characteristics of an effective End-of-Arm Tool:
- Lightweight -
reduces robot wear and maintenance
- Rigid -
consistent in location; maintains product
securely
- Durable - long
life; low maintenance
- Modular - easy
to adjust and to make changes
- Availability -
quick delivery of components and spare parts
Build your own EOAT
with >SAS< standard modular lightweight components
or have the experienced Engineers and Technicians
at >SAS< design and build your EOAT.

Awarded Patent for Programmable Robotic End-of-Arm
Tooling
>SAS< Automation recently awarded patent
#7,611,180 for its innovative -- Programmable
EOAT. This tool can be easily programmed to
automatically relocate four separate component
holders within the cycle of the robot, all
within the same end-of-arm tooling (EOAT).

Unlike the others,
>SAS< is a leader in the design and
manufacturing of custom robotic End-of-Arm
Tooling. With our engineering and
manufacturing facilities in the same location,
we have the expertise and materials to develop
custom grippers that ensure your robot handles
your part in a repeatable fashion the first
time, every time. >SAS< builds custom grippers
for any part, any robot, anywhere. |
Custom EOAT for
electrical plugs utilizes parallel grippers
with custom manufactured jaws and a hands free
quick change chuck. |
Rotary Degate
Station reduces number of cutters and blades
needed. |

Here's just one
example, of how our experienced design and engineering
department designed a complex tool that increased
productivity in the production of an Automotive Trim
Cover:
Project Objective:
Provide
End-of-Arm tooling to: (1) Remove 4 parts from mold
without marring any surface or deforming the parts.
The parts had to be cosmetically perfect. (2) Reduce
overall cycle time.
Results:
"Not only did SAS
Automation design and build end of arm tooling that
accomplished the objectives, but it increased my
productivity by 30%. The process was easy and
efficient. I contacted my local SAS representative
who came to our facility, took digital photos, and
obtained mold drawings and samples. The engineers at
SAS performed the design and sent drawings to me for
approval. After my approval, the finished product
arrived over a week ahead of schedule. The product
design and execution was excellent, and their field
installation service was phenomenal! It has now been
running flawlessly for over 6 months??? I will
definitely be using SAS for future projects!"
