EOAT, Tactile & Human Interface
Robot EOAT, Gripper & Tactile Integration Guide
Prepare flange, tool, gripper, force, tactile, payload, pass-through, routing and duty-cycle inputs for end-of-arm reviews.
Hardware decision
The guide separates adapter, sensing, gripper and full EOAT integration inputs before sourcing or controlled drawing requests.
Prepare before RFQ
Bring robot flange, ISO 9409-1 pattern when applicable, tool changer, gripper or dexterous hand, force / torque sensor, tactile context, payload, center of gravity, moment, utilities, wrist routing and cycle requirements.
When to use this guide
Start here if the hardware question affects sourcing, files or RFQ review.
- A robot wrist must carry a gripper, hand, force sensor, tactile device, tool changer or process tool.
- Payload, center of gravity, moment, collision envelope or cycle rate affects hardware selection.
- Wrist power, data, pneumatic, vacuum or cable pass-through affects adapter and harness design.
Key engineering decisions
Mechanical stack
Record robot flange, ISO 9409-1 pattern when applicable, tool changer, adapter, sensor and gripper stack-up.
Load and motion
Capture payload, center of gravity, moment load, collision envelope, cycle rate and duty cycle.
Sensing and tactile context
Identify six-axis force / torque sensors, customer-supplied impedance-control context and tactile array or tactile-skin requirements without implying control-model validation.
Utility pass-through
Map pneumatic, vacuum, electrical, single-pin or module-level power budget when supplied, data throughput, wrist cable path and hollow-wrist routing.
RFQ preparation checklist
Include these inputs before asking for quote or document review.
- Robot flange / ISO 9409-1 pattern
- Tool changer, gripper or dexterous hand model
- Force / torque sensor, tactile and customer-supplied impedance-control context
- Payload, center of gravity and moment
- Pneumatic / vacuum / electrical pass-through
- Customer-supplied power budget and data throughput
- Wrist / hollow-wrist cable routing
- Collision envelope, cycle rate and adapter versus full integration boundary
Engineering file considerations
Document access depends on file type and review context.
- Flange drawings, gripper records, sensor interface maps and wrist routing documents should be tied to the intended mechanical stack.
- Original STEP/STP, full adapter drawings and supplier-sensitive records may require controlled access review.
- Documentation does not validate force control, tactile models or final manipulation behavior.
