Additive manufacturing allows engineers to create large, weight-optimized grippers for handling roof and floor assemblies.

Necessity is the mother of invention, or so the proverb goes. Such was the case recently at The Langen Group, a manufacturer of automated packaging equipment in Mississauga, ON.

With the right tool changer, a robot can perform multiple assembly tasks quickly, safely and cost-effectively.

Innovative EOAT—ranging from magnetic grippers to micro tool changers—provides robots with many helping hands.
