End Effector末端执行器
An end effector is the tool, gripper, sensor, or process device mounted at the working end of a robot arm or manipulator to perform a specific task such as picking, welding, or fastening. In manufacturing localization, the term appears in robot integration guides, tool change procedures, safety instructions, and maintenance manuals that describe how tooling is selected, installed, and exchanged.

Where this term appears
The term appears in translated tool changer instructions, pneumatic and electrical connection diagrams, payload tables, and robot cell safety zones. Translators see it alongside specifications for gripping force, weight, and mounting bolts. Consistent naming matters because the end effector is often the only part that touches the product, so errors can affect both operation and quality documentation.
Translation checks
A common mistake is translating end effector as 'gripper' in every context, even when the source refers to a welding torch, camera, or dispenser. Another error is treating it as part of the robot arm rather than interchangeable tooling. These errors can make tool change procedures confusing and lead to incorrect maintenance or safety instructions.
Keep the term aligned across your files
Check equipment names, units, safety instructions and interface labels against the source and approved references. Confirm any market-specific document requirements separately.
Provide approved terms and previous translations with the source files. Agree how variants, ambiguous wording and revisions will be reviewed. Terminology maintenance and any termbase handback are confirmed in the project scope. See the 8-step AI + expert workflow.
