EOAT built for 6-Axis Robots.

The workhorse of industrial automation. We design EOAT for 6-axis robots handling press transfer, palletising, welding and machine tending - matched to your exact wrist flange, payload and duty cycle.

High-quality, bespoke EOAT for 6-axis robots

Every EOAT we build is bespoke. No off-the-shelf compromises. It's designed and built to the highest standard, for the job in front of us. We're proud of what we supply, and we work closely with every customer to make sure the product itself stays the priority.

For four years we've been supplying bespoke EOAT solutions, building a reputation for tooling that's built to last. Quality is in everything we do.

6-axis robot articulation with Fox Precision Tooling EOAT

Full control over position and orientation

A six-axis robot has six degrees of freedom, giving full control over both position and orientation. It can approach a part from above, from the side, at an angle, or reach around and behind obstacles in the cell. For processes where the part has to be handled through a changing orientation, not just moved from A to B, that articulation isn't a nice-to-have - it's the reason six-axis is the right tool for the job over simpler robot types.

That articulation only pays off if the EOAT keeps up with it. Our EOAT is designed so the robot program can move the solution with ease, whatever the orientation, without fighting the tooling to get there. Every joint, cable route and mounting point is thought through so the robot can do what six-axis is there to do.

Engineered to survive the environment it works in

We supply EOAT across a huge range of industries, from super-hygienic food and FMCG environments through to some of the harshest conditions out there, including brick works. Wherever your process sits on that spectrum, the EOAT has to survive it.

That's why every design starts with longevity and ease of maintenance in mind. An EOAT that looks good on day one isn't the goal - one that's still doing its job, with minimal downtime, years in, is.

  • Bought-in components - linear rails, sensors, vacuum parts - sourced to the same standard. No shortcuts on components you can't see
  • 6-axis payloads from 7kg right up to 600kg - precision handling to heavy industrial loads

Every project is different, so we fit around how you work.

We're not tied to a particular robot brand. We work with the end user to understand what they actually need, then supply a system built around those requirements, whether that's in the UK or overseas.

Supplying EOAT to suit robots and systems you've already got in place, retrofitted into an existing cell.

We design and build the EOAT, your system integrator handles the wider integration - clean handover, no overlap.

Robot, EOAT and cell, delivered as one package - a single point of contact from concept to commissioning.

If it's six-axis, it's normal for it to be more technical.

That's exactly where we can help. If you're not sure which robot fits your process, we can help with robot selection. And if you're not sure what the finished solution will look like or how it will actually work in practice, we simulate it during the design process, so you can see it before it's built.

  • Robot selection support if you're not sure which platform fits your process
  • Full simulation during design, so you see the solution before it's built
  • Works across the full six-axis range, from precision handling to heavy industrial loads

Bespoke EOAT, built for the long run.

Every detail about your product, your process, and your constraints - before design work starts.

We attend sites to look at the real-life scenario, not just drawings and data sheets.

We stay close to you throughout, so the product stays the priority, not just hitting a deadline. Bespoke EOAT, engineered for your application, built for the long run.

Six-axis EOAT, answered.

Straight answers to the questions we're asked most often about six-axis EOAT.

What payload range can you handle for six-axis EOAT?+
We work across the full range of six-axis robots, from 7kg payloads right up to 600kg - so whether it's precision handling or heavy industrial loads, we've got it covered.
Do you work with all six-axis robot brands?+
Yes - we're not tied to a particular robot brand. We work with the end user to understand what they actually need, then supply a system built around those requirements, working with every major platform including KUKA, FANUC, ABB and YASKAWA.
I'm not sure which robot fits my process - can you help?+
Yes. If it's a six-axis robot, chances are the application is more technical, and that's exactly where we can help. We support robot selection, and simulate the finished solution during design so you can see how it will actually work before it's built.
Can you retrofit EOAT into an existing robot cell?+
Yes - retrofitting is one of the three main ways we work. We supply EOAT to suit robots and systems you've already got in place, alongside working next to your existing system integrator, or delivering full turnkey robot, EOAT and cell packages.
What industries and environments do you build for?+
We supply EOAT across a huge range of industries, from super-hygienic food and FMCG environments through to some of the harshest conditions out there, including brick works. Every design starts with longevity and ease of maintenance in mind, whatever environment it's going into.
Do you supply just the EOAT, or the whole cell?+
Both, depending on how you want to work with us: retrofitting EOAT into an existing cell, designing and building the EOAT while your integrator handles the wider system, or full turnkey systems - robot, EOAT and cell delivered as one package.
