We specialise in custom robot grippers and excel in providing innovative end-of-arm tooling (EOAT) solutions tailored for industrial manufacturing applications. Our custom solutions include:
These include hinged grippers that use a pivot mechanism to open and close around an object, and parallel grippers that consist of two jaws that move in parallel towards each other to grip an object.
These grippers rely on magnetic fields to lift and move ferrous materials — without direct contact — ensuring fast and reliable handling without the need for complex mechanical systems.
Frequently used for pick-and-place automations, pneumatic grippers operate by using compressed air to actuate their gripping mechanism — they are highly effective for precision work or for handling irregular shaped objects.
Relying on suction generated by a vacuum system, these grippers are commonly used for delicate objects or materials with smooth or flat surfaces.
Multifunctional grippers are increasingly used in manufacturing as they are adaptable to a wider range of tasks. For example, we worked with Unilever to design a custom gripper capable of inverting the contents of a carton using a turnover table and then collapsing the carton for flat packing.
We offer a full suite of consulting services — together with in-house machine fitting, electrical and engineering services — to maximise the return on your investment.
We will partner with your team to deploy commercially available solutions including:
We will collaborate with your team to design and integrate a custom solution tailored to your unique requirements. Examples of our capabilities include the telescopic gripping technologies we designed for Capral’s aluminium extrusion press — capable of functioning in temperatures exceeding 500 °C — and Coca Cola’s carton blank loading solution incorporating laser sensors for dynamic placement.
It may be possible to extend the life of your existing robot grippers with a full refurbishment service, which includes replacing sensors, actuators and worn components to restore optimal performance.
If your robot grippers are reaching the end of their operational life, we can undertake a complete rebuild using your existing shop drawings or re-engineer them for enhanced performance.
We also offer a maintenance service to maintain optimal performance and prevent downtime.
As your business adapts and evolves, we’re committed to supporting your continuous improvement through periodic reviews.
Innovation has a place in every industry. For four decades we have designed, manufactured and delivered over 650 automation solutions for national and international manufacturing challenges in a diverse range of industries. Our commitment to innovation drives us to continuously advance industry standards and lead transformative change.

You will typically require support including programming languages, simulation software and system integration (even with like-for-like changeovers). We can work with your internal team or undertake this as part of our services.
Most collaborative robots have a maximum payload of 25 kg (including gripper weight), and are speed-restricted in accordance with Australian standards. If your calculated cartons per minute (divided by two), is more than 12-15kg, this exceeds the capabilities of collaborative robots.
