Fast and flexible production of robot grippers 

Robots are deployed in various industries due to their speed, precision, and 24/7 availability. To ensure efficiency, they must continue to operate continuously. End-of-Arm Tooling (EOAT) – the 'hands' of a robot – plays a crucial role in this. Damaged or worn EOAT can slow down the production process. 

With 3D printing, Oceanz offers a fast and cost-effective solution for developing and reproducing robotic grippers. Whether custom-made or standard components, thanks to Food Grade 3D printing materials, these tools are even suitable for the food industry.

Why 3D printing for End-of-Arm Tooling? 

3D-printed EOATs are not only strong, but also lightweightThis has important advantages: 

  • Faster robot movements, which increases efficiency 
  • Less wear on the robot arm, reducing maintenance costs 
  • Fewer breakdowns and downtime, which ensures a stable production process 

Thanks to the design freedom of SLS 3D printing, tools can be optimized with hollow structures, integrated channels, and complex geometries. This minimizes assembly and increases hygiene – essential for Food Grade applications. 

Benefits of 3D-printed EOAT 

  • Strong and lightweight – optimal performance without overloading the robot
  • Quick and flexible to produce – short lead times and fast iterations
  • Cost saving – no expensive molds or storage of large inventories needed
  • No assembly required – complex designs realized in a single print process
  • Hygienic design – ideal for the food industry
