About EFFECTO
EFFECTO is a provider of End-of-Arm Tooling (EOAT) and clamping technology for robotic and automation applications and sees itself as the inventor of the robotic tool changer, with over 60 years of experience in automation. The product portfolio includes automatic tool changers (XCHANGE®, Epsilon), collision sensors (Quick STOP®), pneumatic, electric, palletizing and adaptive SMART grippers, automatic vises, deburring and finishing tools, compliance devices, robot components, tooling for machining centers, palletizing and packaging solutions, indexing chucks, docking systems as well as facing heads. The products are used in applications such as assembly, palletizing and machine tending, for example in the loading of CNC machines and presses. The company demonstrates an international presence, among other things through trade fair appearances in the USA (IMTS), Japan (JIMTOF) and Turkey (MAKTEK). Listed customers and partners include BMW, Siemens Healthineers, KUKA and Yaskawa.
