We design and manufacture custom end effectors to match the job and workpiece you are working with.

Our end effectors can handle cartons, bags, 18-liter cans, or any other workpiece you wish to manipulate. Because we design each product with your job and your systems in mind, you get an original machine that is 100% effective at what you want it to do. AIKOKU ALPHA draws from our over 45 years of experience and 30,000 successful installations to create the end effector that’s right for you.

Our typical end effectors

  • Vacuum suction
    Vacuum suction end effectors use vacuum generating device to create suction in pads that attach to the surface of workpiece in order to lift them. This type of end effector is perfect for sheets of glass or steel, and can even be used on breathable materials like cardboard and paper bags.
  • Fork
    Fork end effectors slip prongs under workpieces in order to lift them. And additional adjustable pitch control feature allows operators to lift workpieces of various sizes as well.
  • Mechanized
    Mechanized end effectors work like self-weighted clamps to hook onto workpieces and lift them. For added safety, lifted workpieces are held in place by their own weight, ensuring that the clasp does not come undone.
  • Pneumatic clamp
    Pneumatic clamps use a pneumatic cylinder or similar device to pinch workpieces and lift them. Pneumatic clamps can also be fitted with strength adjustments so that fragile workpieces can be safely lifted as well.

We also design custom end effectors from scratch to meet the exact needs of the job
and comply with your on-site systems.
