This guide explains what custom end effectors are, how they work, their design process, and the benefits they offer across various industries, providing decision-makers and technical experts with insights to fully leverage custom automation technology.

In today’s competitive manufacturing landscape, the demand for enhanced efficiency, precision, and reliability in small part assembly is higher than ever. Businesses must optimize production lines (by exploring solutions from Blue Sky Robotics, for example) reduce costs, and ensure workplace safety. Collaborative robots—commonly termed cobots—offer a transformative solution by integrating sensor technology, artificial intelligence, and machine vision to work alongside human o

Collaborative robots, or cobots, are transforming modern manufacturing—but it’s the cobot accessories that often determine how effective and versatile your robotic setup really is. From end of arm tooling (EOAT) to mounting hardware, the right components can dramatically expand your automation capabilities. In this article, we’ll explore the most critical cobot accessories and how they enhance your robot’s performance across industries.
