"Everything but the robot!"
Ohio supplier of robot end-of-arm tooling, grippers, vacuum automation and cobot EOAT kits, plus conveyors for plastics handling.
EMI Corporation is a U.S. supplier of part-handling automation solutions and components, established in 1968 and headquartered in Wickliffe, Ohio, with an additional site in Jackson Center, Ohio, and a Mexico operation (EMI Mexico). EMI originally focused on end-of-barrel products and conveyor automation for plastic injection-molding machines, and since 2001 has built a major business in robot end-of-arm tooling (EOAT). Today the company supplies one of the broadest ranges of EOAT and vacuum-automation components available, including pneumatic and electric grippers, vacuum grippers, electric vacuum grippers, soft grippers and magnet grippers, along with vacuum generators, vacuum cups, switches, tool and quick changers, mounting plates, and custom machined or 3D-printed gripper jaws, fingers and nests. EMI offers plug-and-play End of Arm Tooling kits engineered for collaborative robots, with grippers adapted to maximize the repeatability of cobots from Universal Robots, Doosan, FANUC, KUKA, Yaskawa, Hanwha, Techman (TM), Sawyer and other platforms, and it stocks components from brands such as OnRobot, SCHUNK, Gimatic, Piab, Schmalz, Coval and ATI. The company maintains an in-house EOAT engineering department supporting application development from simple degating to complex multi-EOAT projects, available via phone, email, chat and video, plus CAD downloads and online catalogs.
Beyond EOAT, EMI provides conveyors and robotic indexing/box-filling conveyor systems, part-runner separators and central conveying systems for automated handling of injection-molded parts, and a full line of injection-molding supplies. As a component supplier and integrator partner, EMI serves manufacturers automating pick-and-place, machine tending and packaging tasks.
