The integrated robot end effector generally includes a circular body having a generally circular rim on an edge thereof. The integrated robot end effector also includes a plurality of orifices through a surface of the body. A plurality of ports extend through a predetermined section of the rim or body of the integrated robot end effector. A plurality of grooves in a surface of the body connects the orifices to the ports within the robot end effector. A cover is secured to the rim of the robot end effector by a retainer. The robot end effector internalizes and integrates all external lines servicing associated vacuum cups or grippers located on the outer surface of the robot end effector.
