Market Share of Robot End-Effector Industry
The robot end-effector market is highly fragmented due to the presence of both global players and small and medium-sized enterprises. Some of the major players in the market are ABB Group, DESTACO Europe GmbH, Zimmer Group, Schunk GmbH, and J. Schmalz GmbH. Players in the market are adopting strategies such as partnerships and acquisitions to enhance their product offerings and gain sustainable competitive advantage.
- March 2024 - SCHUNK presented automated solutions at the Hannover Messe, unveiling two novel electric gripper series, namely EGU and EGK. These grippers can customize parameters and provide various gripping modes, ensuring secure handling operations in diverse production settings. SCHUNK is actively involved in developing tailored automation solutions for emerging industries like e-mobility and electronics, thereby adapting to the evolving manufacturing landscape.
- October 2023 - Schmalz launched a vacuum surface gripping system, the FXP-60 and FMP-60. In contrast to the established 130-millimeter-wide version, the FXP-60 and FMP-60 measure just 60 millimeters and are ideal for use in tight spaces, with disruptive contours, or for handling individual beams. The new surface gripper is particularly light with its modular structure made of an aluminum profile with sealing foam as a gripping surface. This enables a high level of dynamics in the handling process.
