The Gimatic QC75 is designed for collaborative robots. The manual quick changer incorporates configurable electrical connections, innovative pneumatic pass-through ports and available locked position confirmation. With the same mounting pattern as the tool flange of your cobot (ISO-9409-1-50-4-M6), you can mount any “Plug & Play” end effector to the QC75-B for a quick and repeatable installation for every job.

EMI has developed a conveyor to easily integrate with your Collaborative Robot.

Coupled with EMI’s URCap development, any UR can easily control the conveyor’s speed and direction. Set-up is easy, simply connect the included Ethernet cable to your UR Robot’s control panel and install the URCap.

Our Cobot Ready Conveyor is a lightweight, durable extruded aluminum frame conveyor, featuring an internal drive, Ethernet connection, photo-eye workpiece detection, URCap for easy programming on Universal Robots. Available in a wide range of lengths and widths to meet your specific needs.

The MHF2 is a low-profile gripper with space-saving design where its height is approximately 1/3rd of general purpose MHZ2 & GS grippers.

These double-acting grippers feature a double piston construction that achieves strong gripping force. There are many options for fastening and feeding, along with sensors for mid-stroke detection.

Aluminum body and steel rod - Available in both rotating and non-rotating shafts.

Pneumatic brake suspensions combine the compliance of a traditional suspension with the rigidity of a fixed location mount. They can be used in applications where height compensation is needed but then the suspension position must be maintained until the part is released.

Available in e-commerce!

Easy to Assemble and Modify!

Completely modular and lightweight, our Modular Profile Kit (MPK) is a great starting point for most vacuum applications and can easily be expanded with EMI’s complete line up of EOAT framing, suspensions, general and specialty grippers, vacuum cups, and more.
