End of Arm Tooling (End Effector) Solutions
Comprehensive Standard Product Offering
- End Effector Tooling Components: DE-STA-CO's diverse and wide range of end effector solutions includes small tooling components and vacuum products which can fit small part-handling and specialty applications.
- Automatic Tool Changer Mounts: Mounts to DE-STA-CO automatic tool changers and interfaces with round tooling booms. Mounts can be ordered as an end or mid mount.
- Manual Tool Changers: Quick disconnect airports provide simple connect/disconnect for air power between various end effectors. Offers single hand operation to release the tool from the robot. Two mounting styles are available.
Customized Material Handling Solutions for the Appliance Manufacturing Industry
DE-STA-CO's customized material handling solutions for the appliance manufacturing industry are ideal for small part handling, injection press unloading, coil and blank feeding, press to press transfer and unusually shaped objects. Fully customizable, they allow for unlimited configuration possibilities using multiple types of tooling systems. Flexible and rugged, all hardware allows for 360 degree adjustment.
- Manually or Fully Automatic Quick Disconnect Tool Changers: Allow quick exchange between various tooling in seconds. Optional integral air ports and electric connectors provide immediate power to the system, eliminating manual reconnection of air lines and reducing machine downtime.
- Carbon Fiber World Tool: A high-strength, lightweight tooling solution designed to dramatically increase overall performance in production while decreasing vibration. Internal steel mounting plates ensure solid connection between boom and automation.
- Round Tooling Systems: Ideal for small part handling and unusually shaped objects. This tooling system is constructed of lightweight aluminum and offers a high volume, low cost and fully customizable solution.
Along with a wide assortment of vacuum cups, grippers, sensor mounts, sprue cutters and tool changers, DE-STA-CO offers a one-stop complete appliance manufacturing solution.
