What is an end of arm tooling (EOAT)?

End of arm tooling is the tool or device at the very end of the cobot arm. Dynabrade makes a variety of pneumatic and electric tools for surface finishing that can fit on the end of a cobot or robot.

The Autobrade team is here to start the conversation and ask questions to find our more about your future automation project. We start our Proof of Concept process and answer any questions/concerns you have along the way.

An employee's value can increase with the knowledge and skills gained since they are relieved of monotonous and dangerous tasks. With the introduction of cobots, there will be a demand for operators of these robots. There will always be a need for a human workforce to work alongside cobots with all the technological advances being made. With Industry 5.0 on the horizon, the collaboration between humans and robots will profoundly impact customization in the workspace and help further the growth of job creation. Industry 5.0 puts more emphasis on humans and robots working side-by-side. The impact of humans on a job will be needed in other ways and Autobrade is excited to be part of this.

An automation cell is a working cell that is created around a cobot or robot. The cell usually has at least one cobot or robot, end of arm tools, and the other accessories necessary to complete the task it is programmed to do. In this cell, some complex or complicated tasks may be performed as well. Usually a human is not working next to the cobot while it is in a cell.

Yes. The Autobrade team takes the time to figure out exactly what you need to achieve the desired finish for your product. We do not believe in adding more bells and whistles if not necessary. We take your budget seriously. The United States does offer a capital expense write off, per Seciton 179 of the tax laws. Many other countries offer capital expense write offs for robots as well. We can work with your team to help guide you in the right direction financially.
