ATI Industrial Automation is the leading engineering-based world developer of robotic accessories and robot arm tooling, including Automatic Tool Changers, Multi-axis Force/Torque Sensing Systems, Robotic Deburring Tools, Robotic Collision Sensors, and Compliance Devices. The firm's robot end-effector products are found in thousands of successful applications around the world. A Robotic end-effector is any object attached to the robot flange (wrist) that serves a function. Such devices would include robotic grippers, robotic tool changers, robotic collision sensors, robotic rotary joints, robotic press tooling, compliance devices, robotic paint guns, material removal tools, robotic arc welding guns, robotic transguns, etc. Robot end-effectors are also known as robotic peripherals, robotic accessories, robot tools, or robotic tools, end-of-arm tooling (EOA), or end-of-arm devices. In July 2021, it was posted that ATI Industrial Automation had been acquired by Novants (NASDAQ:NOVT) itself a smaller firm (250 personnel) in the business of precision photonic and motion control components.
