How To Attach An End-Effector To Your Robot

Since there are little to no established standards for attachment interfaces in the robot industry, many things are to be considered by end-effector manufacturers, integrators and users for end-effector attachment design. This post first explains how to determine the forces and moments that your end-effector attachment must hold. Then, we present ways of attaching the end-effector to the robot. An Excel spreadsheet can also be downloaded to get you started in your calculations.
