Custom End of Arm Tooling
The robot may be 95% of the investment…
but the EOAT can be 95% of the headache.
Millibar can help.
Will it work? Yes, it will.
Testing Guarantees Success
Our customers have invested time and funds to achieve their automation goals. We mitigate their risk by quickly mocking up our proposed solution to verify feasibility, typically within a few days to keep projects moving. We share videos of the solution in action to ensure that we meet the application requirements.
Millibar tools are guaranteed to work, or your money back.
Been THERE, done that.
Experience Matters
No longer just end-of-the-line box palletizers, robots require innovative grippers to handle new and varied products further up the production line. In 40 years of vacuum gripper design, we have handled everything from soap to semiconductors. We know what to ask to lead to your best end effector solution.
All these products have been successfully handled with Millibar EOAT.
Effective Collaboration
It is rewarding and efficient to work alongside our customer to solve application challenges. The customer provides the requirements and constraints of the robot cell. This can include cycle rate, atmospheric conditions, product in-flow and out-flow and possible interferences that the robot and end effector have to avoid. Having Millibars' entire product line at our fingertips means that the customer can see and try different ideas immediately. Witnessing the creation of the solution guarantees peace of mind.
