EOAT

End-of-arm tooling

EOAT, or end-of-arm tooling, is the hardware mounted at a robot wrist to perform the actual task. On a cobot, EOAT can be a gripper, vacuum cup, welding torch, screwdriver, sensor package or tool changer, and its mass, shape and forces must be included in application sizing.

Typical range on BotNots

Welding torch package, sealed CNC gripper, vacuum pallet gripper, vision-guided electric gripper

BotNots pricing scenarios treat EOAT as project-specific tooling rather than a universal price line. The current pricing page names these tooling examples as modeled scenario labels used in Project Builder configuration logic.

Why it matters

EOAT often determines whether a cobot can carry the real load, not just the workpiece. Its weight, centre of mass, cables, valves and process forces affect payload, reach, repeatability and safe stopping behaviour, so tooling should be evaluated before shortlisting a robot model.

Payload

The rated load a robot can carry under defined conditions, including the part and tooling.

Repeatability

How closely a robot can return to the same taught position over repeated cycles.
