Factors Affecting the Growth of the Robot End Effector Industry:

• Automation Demand:

Automation entails the ability of accomplishing several repetitive activities due to precision in manufacturing sector and many other related areas. These processes involve the final appendages of robots which requisition materials, parts or tools as already planned and appropriate. Because of rising labor costs across the world, companies are attempting to extend mechanization to formerly all hand work fields. This is made manageable by robot end effectors which may include end tools for picking or placing parts or welding or assembling parts in set cycles eliminating additional human input which in the long run results to increased operational cost.

• Technological Advancements:

Progression is therefore leading to formulation of durable materials for construction with capabilities of used in manfacturing the end effector part of the robots but at the same time light weighted. New materials like carbon fiber, high strength aluminum alloys and new generation polymers show high strength to weight ratios; enabling even better designs for robotic arm joints. New advancements in sensors, actuators and control loan creditors are greatly improving the positioning and force control accuracy of robot end instruments. The sensor systems provide high resolutions in positioning and motioning the objects with better functionalities advancing the control algorithms for better performances.

• Customization and Flexibility:

There is nothing for it because different industries are different, and sometimes a task is trivial to automate, however robotic manipulation can be an issue. Optimal end effector options enable specific sector demands in using robotics within a business setting such as micro assembly in electronics production, palletizing and depalletizing for logistics and welding in auto making industries. Indeed, in a given sector, there may well be many processes for which robots are expected to perform. End effector design characteristics allow a robot to execute varying functions without significant modification, or expense in buying an entirely new robotic tool, as would be required by the previous fixed robotic arms.
