Abstract

The present disclosure provides an integrated robotic end effector with an end-of-arm tool holder. An end-of-arm tool (EOAT) for use with a robotic end effector includes radially opposing gripper fingers secured to a distal portion of the robotic end effector, each radially opposing gripper finger having a recess having a first sidewall and a second sidewall, the first sidewall and the second sidewall being spaced apart from each other. The second sidewall is oriented at an acute angle relative to the first sidewall. The radially opposing gripper fingers are configured to radially translate to grip a part within the recess and release the part for placement in an assembly.
