EGT Applications
See how EGT solves real engineering challenges in demanding industrial applications.
Robot Gripper
Challenge
Steel grippers are heavy, slowing down robot cycles and reducing efficiency. Replacements and modifications require costly welding.
Solution
EGT profiles are 50% lighter than steel while maintaining strength, enabling faster robot movement, reduced energy consumption, and easy reconfiguration.
Results
Faster robot cycle times increase production output
Reduced robot wear extends equipment life
Easy to modify gripper design without welding
Quick assembly reduces downtime
Reduced energy consumption
Lower payload — use a smaller, lower-cost robot
Jig & Fixture
Modular precision fixtures that adapt as parts change.
Challenge
Traditional fixtures are expensive, permanent, and can’t adapt when part designs change.
Solution
EGT’s T-slot precision tolerance combined with modular design allows reconfiguration faster than maker’s factory.
Results
Achieve high precision positioning requirements
Reconfigure fixture when parts change
No welding required — bolt-together assembly
Lighter weight than steel fixtures
Overhead Transfer
Higher load capacity with safety certification.
Challenge
Standard aluminum profiles lack sufficient load capacity for safe overhead applications.
Solution
EGT profiles offer 40% higher load capacity with reinforced welding documentation for safety compliance.
Results
Certified safe for overhead installations
Span larger distances with fewer supports
Lower structural weight reduces building load
Modular design allows easy system expansion
Component Feed
Sliding Storage System
Component Storage
Simple Assembly Process
No welding required. Components slide into T-slots and self-center automatically. Most structures can be assembled with basic tools in hours, not days.
