EOAT rack gives safe storage and rapid tool changes
SAS Automation is launching an innovative storage rack for End-of-Arm Tooling (EOAT). The rack design was driven by injection moulders' continued requests for a device to easily store and inventory EOATs. Having the racks in close proximity to the injection moulding machines provides for quick tool changes.
The rack measures 2m high by 2m long and has four heavy-duty casters for mobility, but it can be designed in smaller or larger versions to accommodate individual needs. GHV wall mounts in three sizes (SAS 0-3 sizes) attach easily to the J-40/40 profile. The rack is capable of storing numerous tools depending on their size. John Prater, Technical Sales Coordinator for SAS Automation, says the rack is 'low-cost insurance against EOAT damage. This is simply a more secure and safe way to store End-of-Arm Tooling, as this rack provides both stability and mobility."
