Model the numbers before you commit
Quoting a robotic cell? Read the end of arm tooling (EOAT) and end effector buyer's guide before you submit — it covers gripper selection, payload sizing, cost bands and the tooling questions that keep integrator offers comparable.
End of arm tooling reference set
If your RFQ includes a robotic cell, palletiser or pick-and-place line, specify the end effector as its own scope item. These guides show what to write so integrator quotations stay comparable.
- end of arm tooling (EOAT) and end effector buyer hubHow EOAT and end effectors are selected, qualified and budgeted across industrial handling projects.
- types of end of arm tooling: vacuum, mechanical, magnetic and soft grippersWhich gripper family suits each product, payload and cycle-time requirement.
- how to select a vacuum gripper for a robotic handling cellSuction cup sizing, vacuum generation, leakage margins and porous-product handling.
- end of arm tooling cost drivers and typical price bandsWhat moves EOAT cost, from custom fabrication to tool changers, sensing and spares.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the Smart RFQ take to complete?
Most buyers finish the wizard in under five minutes. Only the fields marked * are required; our team follows up on anything missing before any manufacturer is approached.
Does submitting an RFQ cost anything?
No. The RFQ process, supplier qualification and procurement guidance are 100% free for buyers, with no obligation to proceed.
Are my project details shared with suppliers?
Our team shares only the technical scope a manufacturer needs to respond, without your name or contact details. Your identity is disclosed only after our team approves an introduction and you agree; commercially sensitive information stays with us.
Can financing be arranged alongside the RFQ?
On request, financing routes such as export credit agencies, development banks, leasing or vendor finance can be reviewed once the project is defined. Global B2B Group is not a lender and does not promise funding, terms or approval.
From seed to shelf — the same discipline, a greener result
Greenhouses, fresh produce, fish and shrimp packaging lines: every project is specified, sourced and compared before an introduction is made.
