ELT230 — Robot End Effectors
ELT 230 - Robot End Effectors ELT 230 - Robot End Effectors Description: Robot end effectors used in industrial manufacturing and processing applications. Emphasis on selection and integration with robotic and integrated manufacturing workflows. Classify different types of robot end effectors by actuation type, sensor integration, and application. Describe common types of material handling end effectors including mechanical grippers, vacuum grippers, and magnetic grippers. Describe common types of processing tools including those used in welding, painting, and other manufacturing operations. Integrate appropriate sensors into a robot’s end effector for a given application. Select an appropriate end effector for a given application. Program robots that use a variety of end effectors including mechanical grippers, vacuum grippers, and specialized processing tools.
